July 15, 2024 - Derecho Brings Widespread Wind Damage & Tornadoes

Overview

On the evening of July 15, 2024, a derecho brought very strong winds, several tornadoes, and heavy rainfall to a good portion of the Midwest. Thunderstorms initiated over central Iowa during the late afternoon hours then quickly spread east-southeast through southern Wisconsin, the northern half of Illinois, southern Michigan, and the northern/central Indiana. Significant tree damage, some structural damage, and a few tornadoes resulted from the event with observed wind speeds of 105 mph near Speer, Illinois (Stark/Marshall County line). Back building of storms during the overnight hours brought very heavy rainfall and flash flooding near and south of a Galesburg to Sullivan line. The heaviest rain fell over Fulton and Mason counties where 4-7"+ were reported. The last time a derecho impacted central parts of Illinois was back on June 29, 2023.

Derecho definition: (pronounced deh-REY-cho) a widespread, long-lived wind storm associated with a band of rapidly moving showers and thunderstorms. A storm is classified as a derecho if wind damage swatch extends more than 240 miles, and has wind gusts of at least 58 mph or greater, most of the length of the storm's path.
