I only recently found out that when #Derecho ripped through Ontario/Quebec this year, that this wasn't the name of the storm.

Hadn't occurred to me that this was just the name of the wind pattern until I heard it in a podcast recently.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derecho

widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm associated with a land-based, fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms
