Rare Derecho Pounds East

June 4, 2020

Yesterday’s Derecho event was similar to the one that kicks off this video from 2012 – one of my all-time favorites.

Derecho hits Philadelphia this afternoon, then followed up by possible tornado. Storm classifeid as a Derecho by the Philadelphia NWS. Nearly half a million people are without power in the Philadelphia metro area. pic.twitter.com/OlbHgCceLA

The big D word in 3-D! Loop of cloud tops in 3D is an ideal visualization for the derecho. Check it out: https://t.co/ProMT68aRv

Once the Derecho hit the downslope from the higher elevation, wind damage really took off. Very similar to the historic 2012 Derecho as it moved off the higher elevation in VA. pic.twitter.com/5RfEFa6IOL
