The spectacular severe weather event happened when a derecho hit Marshalltown, Iowa on August 10, 2020. The winds reached top speeds equivalent to a category 4 hurricane and destroyed many residential and commercial properties, as corn and soybean fields. The damage was catastrophic and cleanup remains ongoing (find out more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_2020_Midwest_derecho).

A derecho is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated with a fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms. Derechos can cause hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, heavy rains, and flash floods (find out more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derecho).
