The Greate Derecho of April 4-5th 2011

posted Apr 6, 2011 10:18 AM by Randy Zongker   [ updated Apr 6, 2011 10:23 AM ]

This severe weather outbreak will go down in the records books as one of the most widespread wind storms to affect the Carolinas since maybe hurricane Hugo in 1989. This event was what we call a derecho which is a term for a long lived wind storm caused by a line of fast moving thunderstorms. Sometimes it can also be referred to as a landcane due to the similarity of a fast moving hurricane.
