One of the strongest derechos I have seen during the month of August.
My wife and I live in Marshalltown,Iowa and had 112 mph winds without power for 4 days and without tv,phone and internet for 9 days.

well actually the highest gust in marshalltown was 106mph and thats not sustained, sustained was 70-80, making the iowa derecho in iowa if it was a hurricane a cat 1 hurricane, but it was hitting people who have never experienced a hurricane or hurricane force winds before, and infastructure that wasnt built for that, that is why it was bad. Also i lost my house sustained wind that makes the derecho look pathetic during hurricane irma in 2017.

@Le Tigidou You might have. There was a damage estimate in a small area just southwest of cedar rapids where a damage survey team concluded in that little area, a gust up to 140 may have occurred. Highest officially measured by anywhere in iowa from this storm was 126 in atkins, ia.
This is a bad angle of the storm bc where I live in Ottawa the sky was pitch black it was freaky and windy
This day was crazy! Soo many roads were blocked off and trees just EVERYWHERE!
