Derecho: Behind Washington, D.C.’s destructive thunderstorm outbreak, June 29, 2012
***BTW, derecho is a meterological term.***
I am 66 years old and have monitored weather conditions since I was ten years old and NEVER heard that word till this week.
I still remember an old NANCY cartoon from the 1960s in which she is listening to a TV weatherman talk about the weather in the most technical terms but never mentioned drechos.
Finally she gives up and asks an old man what his bunions say.
