12 AUGUST 2020 - SLATER, IOWA: SCOTT ALLEY and his wife, DEBBIE ALLEY, clean up debris from trees in their yard that were destroyed by the storm Monday. According to Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, the storm damaged 10 million acres of corn and soybeans in Iowa, about 1 one-third of Iowa's 32 million acres of agricultural land. Justin Glisan, Iowa's state meteorologist, said the storm Monday, Aug. 10, lasted 14 hours and traveled 770 miles through the Midwest before losing strength in Ohio. The storm was a seldom seen "derecho" that packed straight line winds of nearly 100MPH. The storm pummelled Midwestern states from Nebraska to Ohio. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
