Cincinnati’s Recent Derecho Compared | Cincinnati News

A powerful derecho slammed into Cincinnati on August 11th, officially classified by the National Weather Service — and it’s a big deal because the last one hit the region back in 2012, causing 22 deaths, blacking out 4 million people, and costing Ohio billions. This storm, while still dangerous with winds up to 130 mph, is nowhere near that scale — no injuries reported so far. Officials are watching for more rain and wind, especially in Indiana and Central Ohio, where flooding risks loom. Stay alert — these storms move fast and can change everything in a decade.
