Recent Winter Storm Devastates South, Not a Derecho

I appreciate your interest, but I need to clarify what I found in the search results provided.

The search results don't contain any information about a current or recent derecho occurring in the United States within the past seven days. The satellite library from the Colorado State University shows various weather events from February 2026, but the most recent entries are from February 18, 2026, which document a winter storm with snow in the Sierra Nevada and power restoration activities across the South—not a derecho.

There is a reference to a derecho from June 29, 2023, in the satellite archive, but that's nearly three years old and well outside your requested timeframe.

The winter storm mentioned in the search results from this past weekend caused significant damage and power outages across the South, but it was characterized primarily as a winter storm with ice accumulation rather than a derecho. According to reporting on the aftermath, the storm left over 30 people dead and caused prolonged power outages affecting hundreds of thousands, particularly in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. However, a derecho is specifically a straight-line windstorm associated with rapidly moving thunderstorms, which differs from the ice storm that occurred.

Without search results containing current information about an active or very recent derecho, I cannot write the article you've requested. If you'd like me to create content about the winter storm that did occur this past weekend, or if you have additional search results about a derecho event, I'd be happy to help.
