Also, why aren't more people outraged that "derecho" can mean either "straight" or "right", it is such bullshit

Interestingly the English and Spanish Wikipedias have slightly different etymologies for "tornado". The former considers it a Spanish derivative; the latter a reborrowing from the English term.

It sounds like maybe derecho was coined in reference (opposition) to tornado… it’s not twisted but also use a Spanish word for this “straight wind” I may be reading to much in to one sentence in Wikipedia too… I’m too lazy to actually look up the context.
