"The storm has no eye, and its powerful winds come across in a line. That can cause widespread overall damage and smaller pockets of severe damage.

To be classified as a derecho by the National Weather Service, the storms must have wind gusts of 57 mph or greater and wind damage from the storm must span at least 400 miles."

    That’s cool, I like bees. Sad that the derecho took them out.

      Yea, I like honeybees. The next door neighbor noted there was thousands of dead bees on his deck, it seems they left the tree when it fell and got splattered against the side of the house.

        Oh noooo, poor bees. I’m seriously going to plant a flowering plant in their honor this weekend. I was going to do it anyway, but now it’s to memorialize your bees.
