Trivia[edit]

  • As with all the Etchings, Etching: Derecho is named for a real-life phenomenon. Derechos are windstorms that cause hurricane-force winds, heavy rain and flash floods.
  • This Etching has New Krytan text in its symbol that contains the following:
    • Inner Ring: Its dark clouds will bind you don't look don't run.
    • Middle Ring: Flashing light cracks through the sky like emerging crystals under the sun.
    • Outer Ring: No fear an unstoppable force unpredictable taking those who can't move with it.
