A squall line is a line of thunderstorms typically associated with a cold front. Squall lines are not necessarily severe, but fairly often can produce severe wind gusts and sometimes hail and tornadoes. A Derecho is a violent thunderstorm complex that typically takes the form of or is part of a squall line. By its formal definition a derecho must produce a damaging wind swath of at least 250 miles and produce winds of at least 50 knots. A derecho generall takes the form of a bow echo, in which the line of storms bows forward, appearing as a backwards "C" on radar
