Talk:List of derecho events

message: The April 4, 2011 derecho needs to be listed AND needs an article... among the largest wind event in American history.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.50.95.2 (talk) 02:38, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I've removed this entry from the list temporarily; it's not that I don't think it's notable--any derecho event that reportedly wipes out an entire town is certainly notable!--but more that there's not yet been time for reliable sources to fully report on it and decide on an actual name for the system, which effected much more than just Alabama.  (As an additional note, it now appears that the destruction of Dodson, Louisiana, was actually done by an EF1 tornado--has anyone else heard of a case of straightline winds being initially blamed for what turned out to be tornado damage, instead of the other way around?)  rdfox 76 (talk) 13:16, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I think there should be an article comining both events as they were both significant and happened within 300 miles of each other. MegaEarthquake (talk) 05:56, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  May 14 and 15 Derechos 

message: The thunderstorm wind event on October 7, 2020 across eastern New York and southern New England(mainly MA) has been classified as a serial derecho by the SPC. This had a 320 mile long damage swath and distributed widespread 75+ MPH wind gusts. I was hit by this just after 5 PM that evening. Lost power and didn't get it back until 6:42 the next morning. There were tons of trees down in my area. Anyways, here's a new entry.

thread_title:  NY and southern New England t-storm wind event on October 7, 2020 

message: I noticed a bit of an edit war has taken place concerning this one. The cited storm reports for that day do not support what's been written in the notes for either 90 mph wind gusts, or 37 tornadoes. There were 18 tornado reports in Wisconsin, including multiple for a single tornado. It doesn't seem to meet the derecho criteria for the time being. Blizk2 (talk) 16:38, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

message: Not sure why this is not on here as it is now the US most expensive thunderstorm. 770 square miles of Iowa devastated.  Winds in our area alone were 120 mph and lasted 45 minutes 166.181.80.218 (talk) 18:24, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Iowa Derecho 2020 

message: So there are two interesting events on this list where they are called derecho but don't meet the criteria:
May 25, 2000 North Carolina Derecho: the source that is sited mentions it being a derecho but looking at the source as well as SPC storm reports show that it traveled fewer than 100 miles
June 2008 Omaha derecho June 27, 2008: I found a case study on the event that referred to it as the Omaha derecho, but looking at storm reports and the case study the storm didn't travel very far and was defined as a gravity wave. The system itself would travel 400 miles but only produced damaging winds in Omaha and at the end of its life.
Also, another discrepancy
October 24, 2011 derecho: The event was similar to that of the October 2010 derecho and traveled 400 miles from Illinois to the Appalachians and brought damaging winds to the entirety of 4 states. However, skimming through the reports I found that only one sig wind report and no source I found called it a derecho.

message: Don't forget to add this one. It traveled over 900 miles and Fort Worth experienced 100 mph winds. It's well documented on SPC/NOAA 96.40.41.231 (talk) 04:50, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
