That Friday setup is something I've heard my weather podcasters talking about since Saturday. Its going to be interesting to see how that unfolds.

It’s going to be a wet spring if something doesn’t change soon.

It took me two years and shiton of work to fix my house after the derecho. I still have trees that need attention. No effing thank you. I hate snow but I'll take it every time over another tornado/derecho.
This pretty well describes my brother’s situation post derecho as well. A drive through southern Iowa nearly 13 months after the tornado shows parts of buildings still lodged up in the trees.

I currently have 4 different business cards on my desk in the past 2 weeks from tree service companies driving around Cedar Rapids drumming up business. I get them all summer. I took care of everything within reach of the house, the remaining aren't a hazard to anything but the ground and I'll deal with them in time. I still get a little PTSD when strong winds occur.

I would have to drive through our old neighborhood to check but last I knew someone had a big pine that landed right in the crook of another tree and it had been left there.
