45. yep, looks like a derecho to me

If you look at the post just above you, you can tell that all of the winds are headed from the west. There was just one image where it looked like the storm had a tail when the clouds were starting to break up. There was no eyewall, no rotating gusts, just straight, fierce winds. That's not saying what they had wasn't bad, it was just not even comparable to a hurricane. Power seems to go out with any big storm down there though, I could expect to lose power a couple times a month over the summer in Carbondale.
