The violent, convectively induced straight-line Windstorm vs The Grill

Great name for a kids book, AMIRIGHT? #rimshot

Life is about learning. This weekend I learned that a derecho is a violent, convectively induced straight-line windstorm associated with a fast-moving band of severe thunderstorms in the form of a squall line usually taking the form of a bow echo. [Ref: wikipedia article]

It’s late and I was at training all last week and have 100+ e-mails waiting for me at work tomorrow, so I’ll just add in the photos and youtube video and call it a day. Thankfully nobody got hurt by this tree, but the storm definitely claimed a couple lives in the area. Twas a crazy night.
