What is a derecho? Let's go to USA Today for the definition:
A derecho is a widespread, long-lived wind storm associated with a band or shelf of rapidly moving thunderstorms.
So far, it seems our area will, fortunately, just see the side effects (possible/probable thunderstorms, heavy rain, possible flooding, unchecked hysteria).
So you should have your phone at the ready for some blog-worthy Instagrams! (Hint.) And stand in line for snacks at Trader Joe's, though it's likely too late.
Anyway! Here are photos from last July ... when derecho-like weather came our way ... these shots via EVG reader Tony Devers...
And!
And do be careful today and tonight.

that last pic ominous bobby williams is so scary and beautiful. i cannot be expected to work after seeing it.
All those pictures are gorgeous, they would look just beautiful printed and framed!
This so-called 'summer weather' is really starting ot piss me off. With a late spring/early summer like this why not let winter come back another month or two? It's just as lame.
HAHAHAHA! Unchecked hysteria! Good one, Grieve. On a related note, I have my window open and the wind is blowing into my apartment. I am going to Google to see if there's any solutions to this problem (though I can't imagine there is).
PS: Thanks for getting rid of the need to type in the code before posting a comment...I'm either not as literate as I thought I was or that thing fucking sucked:)
@Pinch
Wind blowing in the open window? I'd recommend bricking up the window. (Check your lease first!)
I'll try to leave that stupid CAPTCHA off as long as I can... the SPAM eventually attacks like it's World War Z!
Those capchas are training us to think like machines
