On Monday, Aug. 10, 2020, a massive storm system with high winds and isolated tornadoes tore through the Midwest, leaving a 700 mile path of destruction in its wake – from Nebraska all the way to Indiana. In Iowa, early estimates indicated that 43 percent of cropland was impacted across the state, flattening millions of acres of corn and soybeans, crippling grain bins and tearing barns and machine sheds apart.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimated damages from the storm, known as a derecho, would amount to $7.5 billion, making it the most costly severe thunderstorm in United States history. The highest wind gust was clocked in Atkins, Iowa, at an eye-popping 126 mph and it was estimated that peak wind gusts reached 140 mph. These extreme winds are equivalent of what would be expected in an EF3 tornado or major hurricane.
