Something similar happened just this past January. You can read about it here. https://www.greatlakesnow.org/2024/01/strong-winds-uncover-spectacular-features-and-long-lost-structures/

What you describe is more like long term storm surge rather that a derecho that is quick event. We had one create a tragedy years ago when a derecho caused the sinking of a WWII "Duck" boat with tourists on it on Table Rock Lake here in the Ozarks.

That was ugly.

Here is the Wiki on the event. Very tragic. Ripley's (of the Believe It Or Not attraction in Branson) bought the Duck Boat concession and replace them all with a new (no war surplus) Duck Boat with added flotation and redesigned canopies.

I remember that. It was a tragedy.

CW2274:
"In April 2022, all the state charges against the three employees were dismissed. The judge reasoned that the "unique characteristics of the boat lead to it rapidly sinking, and the staff was aware of the storm, but there is no evidence they were aware of the storm's 'gust front'."

So stupidity is an excuse for forgiving manslaughter. Surprised they didn't give them metal rods to hold onto. :roll:
