Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "super derecho" was coined by meteorologist Dr. Robert Johns to describe the unique weather event that occurred in May 2009. A derecho is a widespread, long-lived windstorm that is associated with a band of rapidly moving showers or thunderstorms. A "super derecho" refers to an especially intense and destructive event, with winds that can exceed 100 mph and a path of destruction at least 240 miles long. The eyelike structure that was observed during the 2009 event is a distinctive feature of super derechos.
