I was a little curious why I haven’t heard the word derecho on the weather channel or any local weather forecasts I’ve heard. Wonder why this large line of storms doesn’t qualify?

Well it's not exactly a true derecho, but it seems oddly similar to one. Also there's a different between summer storms and ridiculous severe storms.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Oh yeah. And there were many a summer, back in the late 60's, onward, that I can remember, when a storm was a com'in and dad would tell us all to open all the windows in the house 'case there be a tornado a com'in along with. Seems he was kinda a weather seer. Apparently, as the story goes he'd tell, is that with all the windows open, if'in a tornado did come on by, with all the windows open, the wind would pass thru instead of creating a vacuum sucking the house up like that of Dorothy's in the Wizard of Oz.
True story. Now, I don't know if in fact that this would work, seeing as no tornadoes came nowhere near the house. Maybe he said that to calm us kids during all that thunder and lighting and wind and heavy rains, dunno. But it sure made sense. Kinda stills does.

Just checked Weather Underground, almost all the storm activity has disappeared save the 8 PM hour.
Is that when the Dorocha come out?

Not quite, but, no, he didn't sing. Eric Woolfson did some of the writing/composing with Parsons (and sang some, too, including Eye In The Sky). At least according to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alan_Parsons_Project#
Take care!!When we get warnings like this, it makes me miss living in my house with a basement. Makes me really nervous living in an RV.

That happens here too, when the sun goes down.
