Derecho damage in Iowa, flattened crops spotted in 'impressive' satellite images
« on: August 12, 2020, 03:15:31 pm »


Millions of acres of damaged farmland across Iowa can be seen from space after a deadly derecho blasted across the Midwest earlier this week.

The storm system tore from eastern Nebraska across Iowa and parts of Wisconsin and Illinois, leaving behind a swath of destruction over its nearly 800-mile trek. A woman in Indiana was found dead clutching her grandson in her crushed mobile home while another person was killed in Iowa.

The National Weather Service (NWS) forecast office in Des Moines said Tuesday that a pass by NASA's Terra Satellite revealed swaths of crop damage.
