It's sure odd that nothing like this has ever been previously reported, until this year when there seems to be a concerted effort to negatively impact the food supply.
Saw 'derecho' used a couple years ago, but before that never heard of it.
I grew up in a family that raised, bought and butchered cattle (and hogs) for our family-owned grocery store. I think if there'd been thousands of cattle simultaneously dropping over dead it would have found its way into the family conversation.
I remember Jim Cantore explaining the term on the Weather Channel a few years ago.. it seemed like an introduction, it was new to me. I can’t stand that channel anymore. Once you see all the propaganda, you can’t unsee it.
This happens all the time. Don't buy the hype. I lost 3 cows to bloat 4 years ago. When the temperature rises quickly the fermentation process in the cow exceeds its ability remove the gas. The stomachs enlarge to the point the animal cannot breath and it dies. I remember one summer when ranchers lost 100,000 head of cattle. The US processes 98 million cattle a year. These losses aren't significant to the total production.

...I am a wee bit older than you, have you ever heard of the term "derecho" used to describe a storm before the other day?
...they just dropped this into the lexicon like it existed for ages....

...this is not an "accident"....
That was my point.
And maybe the reason we never heard about derechos until a couple years ago is because they're a form of manufactured weather.

...truth....
Agreed, first I heard was in 2016, talking about an event that went through the Ohio valley in 2014 or 15. “ FCC Derecho Order”
