A derecho is a large line or band of powerful or severe thunderstorms that creates a wind damage area more than 400 miles long and more than 60 miles wide. The thunderstorms in a derecho produce downbursts and sometimes tornadoes. Winds could be hurricane-force. The worst derechos impact millions of people, with infrastructure and property damage, power loss, and destruction of agriculture, leading to billions of dollars of losses.
