Widespread straight-line winds that produced extensive damage were reported throughout Iowa County, associated with a derecho. These winds lasted around an hour in total at any one location, even though the initial line of storms moved out quickly. Damaging straight-line winds continued and were associated with the rear inflow jet. Maximum wind speeds were estimated to be 60 to 80 MPH for much of the county, with areas in northern Iowa County that had wind speed estimates that were 80 MPH or higher. These estimates were determined based off damage reports and photos submitted through social media. These strong winds and duration extensively damaged most trees, powerlines, crops, and some structures in their path. This also resulted in long duration power outages.
