Winds that blow straight
What is the name of the type of wind that blows in a straight line? It ends in "....echo". I think someone said on the show it is a Spanish word. It describes the type that created last Friday's damage.
Derecho
Hello! The storm is a called a "derecho." According the Baltimore Sun: "Derechos are widespread storms in which multiple bands of strong storms packing damaging winds move hundreds of miles. According to the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center, their name comes from the Spanish word for "direct" or "straight ahead", which is the way the storms typically move."

wypr storm infomation
A couple of years ago, I drove through a tornado like small weather incident in the Hereford Zone of Baltimore County. I heard nothing about it on update. I barely made it to the office. The storm suddenly seemed to stop when I got to Monkton. At my office the radio on WSOX was broadcasting an emergency alert and one of our elementary schools was on lockdown due to the storm. If WYPR had warned me, I would have stayed home.
