derecho or downdraft

Yesterday I was reading about a weather event in USA Today that happened up in the high plains area I believe that in one town or county they recorded a wind speed of 107 mph at the peak of the event. There was no mention of tornadic activity, I was wondering if this was a classic example of a Derecho or downdrafting. (I wish I could find the article, but I threw the paper out , it was published on the 21st)...........Weatherchef
