Monday’s derecho damaged 10M acres of crops in Iowa; 600K still without power in Midwest
(Worthy News) – More than 600,000 customers remained without power Wednesday in the Midwest due to the powerful derecho that roared across the region on Monday. Iowa was especially hard hit, as the potent windstorm devastated the state’s power grid and flattened valuable corn fields.
Officials said full recovery from the storm will take several weeks.
The storm had winds of up to 112 mph near Cedar Rapids, Iowa – as powerful as an inland hurricane – as it tore from eastern Nebraska across Iowa and parts of Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois, including Chicago and its suburbs. [ Source: USA Today (Read More…) ]
