Quick graphic with the position of the 15 Dec 2021 derecho. First and last severe/tornado warnings are noted. The derecho traveled roughly 660 miles in 10.5 hours, giving an average forward motion of 63 mph. That’s faster than some interstate speed limits in Iowa. pic.twitter.com/KsdFIIt8Ts

A storm system carrying multiple tornadoes and powerful winds tore across the Great Plains and Midwestern states on Wednesday. The National Weather Service said the system had the highest number of hurricane-force wind gusts in a single day since 2004.https://t.co/kQ5XAeYYRB pic.twitter.com/jLQlgCs0GO
