FOX: Iowa farmers say it will be a massive undertaking to recover from a hurricane-force storm that damaged an estimated 14 million acres of farmland earlier this month.
On Aug. 10, a dangerous wind event known as a derecho tore through Iowa with wind gusts of up to 140 mph, devastating thousands of farms. more
Yeah, I watched that one on radar and was wondering what would come of it.
(Speaking of ‘down,’ you guys were down for a few minutes. Must of had some really big wind gusts or something! ๐ )
It is truly heartbreaking, the farmer’s are the bread and butter of the country. Love and Prayers to all affected. ๐๏ธโค๏ธ๐
2020 really is turning out to be a year we won’t soon forget.
Jimmy- Yeah, and customer service is fucking lucky they never answered the phone. I could spit razors right now.
MJA, they’re probably all running around looking for gremlins, ciphers and bugs. Nah, they’re not even there! Take your money, go home and leave the server farm unattended, after all, it’s run by Microsoft AI!

I have never heard of this derecho wind. Must be rare indeed. If all this is true this is gonna hurt.
I remember back in the 80s, we tore down our old farm house, and my father wanted to put up a stone home with a flat roof so he wouldn’t have to paint it, shingle it, or spray the bugs that hide under the boards.
We didn’t, it was pretty expensive, and a few years later, “high winds” not officially a tornado via radar, gouged some pretty big holes in our nice wooden home, and took a long time to patch all of them up. We had a pile of wood by the barn, and a 4×4 went straight through the corner of our home as if a guy with a saw cut it. Could have killed us.
Moral of the story, stone beats wood which beats a straw house.
It will be entertaining to see how the media will contort in order to blame this on Trump.
Are all the TV weather-talkers hispanic now? Do we have to use a spanish word to label this phenomenon? If so, can we pick a spanish word thatโs easy to say and makes sense? Or maybe just call the wind Maria. Okay, Iโm done with my futile little rant.
If you called the wind Maria, Vaughn Monroe should sing it.
They are spelling DRENCHO wrong
