(Wines&Vines) - National and local media reported widespread damage from the so-called “derecho” wind and thunder storms that plowed through the Midwest, Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic states the last week of June. (“Derecho” means “straight ahead” in Spanish.) Temperatures soared into the triple digits; winds of 65 mph gusted to 91 mph in Fort Wayne, Ind.; millions sweltered without power for lengthy periods, and at least 12 deaths were reported. Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio declared states of emergency.
