Yesterday the first time I ever saw a storm come in so dark it made the day look like night, with winds over 80 miles per hour and and moving through so fast. Took out trees and power lines. I’ve been through a tornado and it was nothing like this. Electricity still out here and it’s never been out in this neighborhood for over 3 hours as long as I lived here. Also took out cell connectivity for awhile. My first time seeing this type weather in 60 years. And last week it was the weird weather killing cattle. Something is up.

We had highs close to 100 several days last week and a derecho hit ft Wayne, IN (98 mph). Totally not normal. Same storm took out phones, power. Then strangely, the internet a week after the storm.
Hey, a derecho hit Eastern Ontario at the end of May. Power was out for almost a week for many, many people. My parents lost cell, cable, landline, internet, and power for 8 days.
It's the first time we've ever had a storm like this or heard the word "derecho". That seems to be what OP's talking about, too. Were derechos heard of in Ft Wayne before this year?
Not in the twelve years we have lived in the area.
