We are going to see an uptick in embedded rotations as this whole line starts to have a more Eastward component to storm motion. Already seeing it somewhat.

When the wind and dew point on the Gulf coast is like it is now it is not good for north of here. A lot of energy!

I never heard the term "derecho" before about 10 years ago, when DC was the epicenter of a punishing such storm which struck in the fierce heat of July!
Let me guess, you think that derechos are a new thing created by climate change?

I sure never heard of it happening before 2012, when the East Coast suffered through that storm. Now it appears to happen yearly, with increased coverage and ferocity.

Still the worst.
1877, dumbass, was the first time the term "derecho" was used.
If you are just being willfully ignorant, frick off.
If you are trolling, frick off.

Millions of homeowners were without power for weeks, and broiling in the brutal East Coast heat and humidity!
I’m guessing the real story is 10,000 without power for 5 days with temperatures in the low 80’s. LOL

No, she isn’t trolling.
You must not have any friends or family who live on one of the coasts.
This is how they’re wired and it’s a perfect example of why the country is irreconcilably divided.
They can’t eat breakfast without processing it through the lens of climate change, DEI and politics.

Not sure what she/it is trying to accomplish, but to come in and outright like about two EF4’s hitting south La recently like was stated yesterday, is just being an a-hole.

Is it just a coincidence that the tornado watch over Indiana is shaped like Ohio or are is the NWS just getting creative at this point?
I guess it's better than another phallic shape.

During the 2nd Industrial Revolution and only 17 years after first oil well drilled.
The timing is no coincidence

Rubbish. "Derecho" is an ancient word--in Spanish--and was uttered well before 1877. It means "straight" or "straight ahead" in that language, and comes from the Latin word "directus." It's a cognate with the English word "direct."
"Derecho" as an English word did not exist before 2012, and was adopted into the language specifically to describe the destructive storm in the mid-Atlantic states which occurred that summer.

Still the worst. You're a liar and ignorant. Maybe just stupid, but I doubt it.
And stop using the word rubbish. It just makes you sound like even more of a twat.

That's not even remotely close to being true.

Here is a good history on when and why the term started being used again.
Sorry, that is dated 2007. Therefore, it must be dismissed.

Nonsense. It is 100% true. Just like the two EF4 tornadoes that hit SE LA in less than a years time.

Theyve always happened yearly and have always had crazy strong winds.
