Wow! Nature isn't kind or cruel, it just does what it does and we have to do what we can to be ready for it. Blessings or luck... maybe both are part of our protection.

This must have been very similar to the Texas Disaster, which is such a terrible tragedy. So glad you and Uncle were safe.

That was some storm, or band of storms, I should say. I remember us receiving a derecho in 2011. It did not do the level of damage that you described back in 1969.

I had heard that term before but didn't picture it in my mind until your description. Your memory sounds much like the devastation in Texas that just happened - terrifying. Wow!

How awful! No wonder you remember the catastrophic event so vividly. I have never heard the term Derecho, but the name sounds evil, as proven by the storm's outcome. I'm sorry you experienced that, and the day was ruined. Mother Nature has a fickle way of doing that.
