Overview

In August 2020, Iowa and several Midwest states were hit with a powerful land hurricane
known as a derecho, an unprecedented storm that resulted in $11.9 billion in damages
across the region. The storm’s mini-tornados, flooding and hail hit a swath of rich agricultural
land across 90,000 square miles and flattened grain silos, hay storage facilities, barns and
destroyed millions of dollars of agricultural equipment.
