Comments:
A severe thunderstorm with “almost hurricane force winds,” according to one meteorologist, materialized out of nowhere Saturday afternoon, downing hydro lines, cutting power and smashing up houses across the province. At least ten people has been reported killed, and hundreds of thousands people have lost electricity power. The form of the storm was fairly regular. Called "derecho" storms, these wind events are not like tornadoes that twist. Instead, they skip and jump across the countryside in a line, all moving in the same direction.
