I was intrigued by some of the dire weather warnings which preceeded the present heat wave. There were warnings up for possible derechos, or Mesoscale Convective Systems. Looking through some old posts, some folks were out in the
Ontario-Adirondack Derecho of 1995, which knocked down millions of trees in the Adirondacks. (That's a lot of trees!) Winds up to 100 mph, storm moving along at more than 60 m.p.h.
Anyway, since this was a new weather phenomenon to me, I could not resist sharing it.
There are some vague warnings about these systems threatening the region again this week, so keep that weather eye open!
Cheers.
