Day-RAY-cho. The opposite, more or less, of a tornado.
Tornado = twisted wind, more or less.
Derecho = straight wind, which can cause a lot of damage, but not perhaps as much as a tornado. It's in the forecast for my region tonight, without an explanation. I guess we're supposed to know this one already. Do you?
