Derecho
An inland "hurricane" which meets speeds of least 93 kilometer per hour. This is a straight line of wind storms which are less than three hours apart and affect an area of at least 400 kilometers. The sky can turn green when there is a derecho due to great precipitation and hail. Rapidly moving showers sweep over the land while the gale force winds lash.
