Why has this had to little national coverage?? This is devastating. Linn County was destroyed. 75% of the trees are destroyed. No power for one week and counting.

Not quite a week actually, but it will be tomorrow afternoon. Many people have their power back but still many don't.

I just heard about this today, shocking!

No kidding. I live in California but I have family spread all throughout Iowa , namely in Cedar Rapids, and I just heard about it on Sunday.

Hi! I'm an assistant for Vice Media working on a doc about the Derecho, and we are interested in using your footage in the film as archival. I e-mailed you as well; please comment back if that's the best way to get a hold of you if interested! Thanks!
