The Dynamo have spent the past two weeks preparing for Minnesota United FC, but the expansion club may be the least of the Dynamo’s troubles tonight. The pesky problem that is road games may not even take center stage in Minneapolis.
Instead, the Dynamo may be up against a unique weather phenomenon known as a derecho.
Derechos can cause hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, heavy rain and flash floods. They occur mostly in the summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
The National Weather Service classifies a derecho as a band of storms that have winds of at least 60 miles per hour along the entire span of the storm front maintained over a time span of at least six hours.
