Vixmom asked on FB about the derecho in Iowa. I hadn't thought about checking in about it. It hit central and eastern Iowa from around Des Moines east. It was 30 minutes of over 100 mph winds There is tons and tons of damage. Luckily, it didn't hit my part of the state. We had a storm and we had some strong winds, but not enough to do damage other than a tree limb here or there. It hit the 4 largest cities in Iowa as well as killing over 1/3 the corn crop in the state. It happened Monday and there are still a lot of people without power. It's bad. Feeling very grateful it didn't hit here
