  • "Powerful Derechos Batter Midwest Farmers as USDA Expands Disaster Relief"

    "Powerful Derechos Batter Midwest Farmers as USDA Expands Disaster Relief"
    Nov 18 2025
    Listeners, in the past seven days, the most impactful windstorm events in the United States have revolved around derecho activity in the Midwest, with continual fallout observed from destructive winds recorded in Iowa, Illinois, and surrounding states during mid-November. According to DTN’s Ag Weather Forum, these derecho events are characterized by long-lived, widespread windstorms tied to rapidly moving thunderstorm lines that have brought significant agricultural and infrastructure disruption, particularly at the tail end of the 2025 harvest season. Many farmers across northern Illinois and eastern Iowa faced sustained winds of 70 to 95 miles per hour, damaging corn still in the field, flattening outbuildings, and ripping through power lines.

    The newly measured impacts have added complexity to ongoing disaster relief efforts. The USDA's Farm Service Agency has responded by launching Stage 2 of the Supplemental Disaster Relief Program, detailed in the agency’s November 2025 fact sheet, to help producers who experienced lost revenue or reduced quality because of the recent derechos. These government programs now not only cover previously insured crop losses, but also include provisions for “uncovered or shallow losses”—circumstances where insurance didn’t apply and producers suffered direct crop or property damage from the excessive winds that swept the region.

    On-the-ground reports have highlighted that communities from eastern Iowa through parts of Illinois woke up to widespread tree damage, thousands of homes without power, and barns shredded by straight-line winds. Emergency response teams set up modular shelters and distributed potable water to stabilize local operations, as described by infrastructure planners on Houston Tents & Events’ blog. Utility crews from neighboring states converged to restore electric service, a process that for some rural residents remains incomplete days after the event.

    For agriculture, the newly published Northern Illinois University study, cited by DTN, demonstrates that the most recent derecho not only destroyed infrastructure, but also caused immediate and often lasting declines in crop ratings on county and state levels. In critical Midwest corn and soybean counties, the Crop Condition Index—in which a rating of 5 marks “excellent” crop condition and 1 means “very poor”—dropped by as much as 0.33 points after the derecho, a substantial shift. While some prior years have seen rare benefits in certain areas when a derecho adds much-needed rainfall early in the season, the November event hit just as crops neared final maturity, when recovery from wind damage is limited and yield losses become permanent.

    For those affected, the USDA’s expanded relief program provides a streamlined process for submitting claims, including for producers who were uninsured or who had only partial coverage. Application forms are now available electronically, and there are special payment limits based on farm income, helping target support where it’s most urgently needed. Producers will need to provide documentation for crop, tree, bush, or vine losses and should contact their local FSA office to verify what information is required.

    Listeners are encouraged to prepare for severe weather by developing shelter plans, maintaining multiple ways to receive alerts—like smartphone apps and NOAA weather radios—and keeping devices charged as storms approach. As always, early and informed action can make a vital difference when facing events like derechos that strike quickly and leave extensive damage in their wake.

  • Destructive Midwest Derecho Strikes, Leaving Widespread Damage

    Destructive Midwest Derecho Strikes, Leaving Widespread Damage
    Nov 15 2025
    AccuWeather meteorologists issued an urgent warning on November 13, 2025, as conditions in the central United States became primed for a significant derecho risk. For listeners unfamiliar with the term, a derecho is a widespread, fast-moving windstorm linked to a line of severe thunderstorms, sometimes rivaling hurricanes in their ability to bring destructive straight-line winds. According to AOL Weather, the threat zone included parts of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri, with the timing of the outbreak expected late Thursday through early Friday. This system evolved as a classic low-pressure system moved across the Plains, creating strong wind shear and pushing warm, moist Gulf air northward—ideal ingredients for the formation of rapidly advancing thunderstorm lines.

    Satellite imagery from the CIRA Satellite Library on November 13 captured a pronounced low-pressure system barreling east across the Midwest, accompanied by clusters of intense, organized thunderstorms. These storms raced along a 700-mile corridor, some embedded in bow-shaped squall lines—a classic derecho signature. Widespread reports of wind gusts topping 80 mph poured in from central Iowa and northwest Missouri. In Omaha, Nebraska, emergency officials reported downed power lines and trees, while local news outlets relayed images of overturned semis along I-80 and roofs peeled from homes. More than 420,000 residents across the affected region faced electrical outages at the peak of the storms.

    As the derecho advanced, embedded supercell thunderstorms also spawned quick-hitting tornadoes in parts of eastern Kansas and west-central Illinois, compounding damage and heightening anxiety. The Storm Prediction Center received numerous reports of widespread tree damage, shattered windows, and mobile homes shifted from their foundations. In Des Moines, local officials urged residents to remain indoors and avoid travel until the most dangerous winds passed. A train of thunderstorms dumped torrential rain as well, leading to flooded streets in several Midwest cities.

    While fortunately there were no immediate reports of fatalities, several injuries were confirmed, primarily from flying debris and collapsed outbuildings. By early morning on November 14, clean-up operations were underway, with utility crews working around the clock to restore electricity and clear major arteries. AccuWeather estimates suggest the total damage could easily exceed $1.5 billion, placing this event among the top windstorm disasters of 2025. Meteorologists point to a persistent pattern of amplified jet stream winds as a major culprit this autumn, keeping the region on edge for repeat severe weather as the year draws to a close.

    To all listeners, thank you for tuning in and staying informed about these rapidly developing severe weather threats. Make sure to come back next week for more updates and stories. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out QuietPlease dot AI.

  • "Northern Lights Dazzle North America, Derecho-Free Skies"

    "Northern Lights Dazzle North America, Derecho-Free Skies"
    Nov 13 2025
    Listeners, as we move through mid-November 2025, there have been no reports of a recent or ongoing derecho, or any widespread, long-lived, and destructive windstorm caused by a line of rapidly moving thunderstorms in the United States over the past seven days. The most notable events impacting the skies have actually not been associated with severe convective windstorms, but rather with extraordinary displays of the Northern Lights. According to the CIRA Satellite Library’s daily updates for November 12, 2025, the biggest headline in recent days has been the “Magnificent Northern Lights Over North America,” which brought vivid auroral displays visible deep into the United States, a result of strong geomagnetic activity. While these events brought wonder and not destruction, they dominated both satellite reporting and social media discussions this week.

    Earlier this week, there were some localized snowfalls in regions such as the Great Smoky Mountains and the Midwest, but these weather incidents were associated with cold air outbreaks and prominent lake effect bands, not with the organized, high-wind, long-track thunderstorms described as derechos. Meteorologists and weather centers have instead been highlighting the early winter conditions and the temperature swings experienced in areas like Houston, as reported by Rolling Out, signifying changing seasonal patterns but not severe windstorms with the destructive capacity of a derecho.

    A look back through the latest satellite data archives confirms this—no entry in the CIRA Satellite Library over the past week references any rights of long-lived, destructive thunderstorm wind events. Instead, documentation focuses on celestial phenomena, snowfall, lake effect bands, and some ongoing typhoon activity near Asia, but nothing in the territory of a US-based derecho.

    Severe weather and derechos tend to attract considerable attention and live coverage across meteorological outlets, storm tracker accounts, and social platforms. This week, emergency management bulletins and weather news feeds have been notably quiet regarding large-scale windstorm emergencies in the US, with no circulations of damage maps, widespread power outage reports, or storm survey teams investigating swaths of flattened trees and infrastructure typical of a derecho event. Instead, user feeds and local news have been centered on dazzling auroras and the oddity of seeing such spectacular northern lights so far south.

    As always, storm season is never truly over, and listeners can keep an ear out for updates should any significant wind events develop as the season transitions and weather patterns evolve. For now, North America is experiencing a pause from derechos, giving people in storm-prone areas a bit of a breather.
