Meteorologist<br />
scope: According<br />
to National Oceanic<br />
and Atmospheric Administration, the Aug. 10,<br />
2020 derecho is the costliest severe thunderstorm<br />
in U.S. history. A derecho is a large,<br />
fast-moving complex of thunderstorms with<br />
powerful straight-line winds that cause widespread<br />
destruction. This book chronicles the<br />
historic derecho which utterly devastated a<br />
large portion of <strong>Iowa</strong>. The book investigates<br />
in-depth the meteorological conditions that<br />
caused the storm. It looks at other derechos<br />
in <strong>Iowa</strong>’s past and shows how they compare<br />
to the 2020 disaster. The book also describes<br />
what victims lived through, exploring the human<br />
side of how the storm impacted the people<br />
of <strong>Iowa</strong> – the agriculture, the power grid,<br />
the tree canopy, and many other compelling<br />
issues related to the disaster. Readers will<br />
come away understanding the meteorology,<br />
the impact, and the importance of the event.<br />
