Network Collaboration on Derecho Aftermath
Paul Davis of the Iowa Corridor opened in the middle of a devastating event in their territory: a derecho that qualifies among the strongest in Iowa and the United States with winds as high as 146 mph. “When the storm hit it was all hands on deck. I reached out to other locations to assist us in helping property owners affected by wind and water damage. Together, we took care of businesses and families,” said Matt. Paul Davis offices from Houston, Madison, Minneapolis, Chicago, Indy, Waukesha, Nebraska, and many others, responded to the call. Since its inception, Paul Davis of the Iowa Corridor have been helping the Corridor recover and rebuild.
A derecho is a type of straight-line wind storm that can spawn hurricane and tornado outbreaks. The August 2020 Midwest derecho was a severe weather event that took place from August 10-11. Certain areas also reported torrential rain and large hail.
