…in Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa. Looks like one squarely hit Elkhorn NE. Stood on the deck and watched it…big damn wedge tornado. Warning sirens have been been sounding for over two hours. The system is now in Iowa between Mo Valley and Neola. The channel 6 news had a camera at the airport and the tornado took the camera out while they were on the air showing the tornado hitting the airport.

That storm was a massive slow moving sucker when it rolled through last night and this morning. 3” rain and high winds. Got a bunch of stuff to clean up.
Squidge, Thank you for always supporting my elementary posts with your videos. I really appreciate your help!
Somebody asked what people were doing this weekend…looks like we will be up in Elkhorn helping w/clean up.
Triggernosis, my niece is a retired meteorologist and she gets the same way … the news just said that there were 57 separate tornadoes.

Probably the most concerning damage happened at Garner Industries just outside of Lincoln near Waverly. The tornado derailed a train across the road from Garner Industries.
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - A northeast Lancaster County business was hit by a tornado Friday afternoon with 70 workers inside.
According to Lancaster County Chief Deputy Ben Houchin, a tornado hit Garner Industries near N 98th Street and Cornhusker Highway between Lincoln and Waverly around 3 p.m.
Houchin said the building collapsed with several people trapped inside.
Three people were injured and taken to area hospitals with but are expected to be okay. The other workers were taken to the Sandhills Global Event Center.
According to Bryan Health, the Bryan Trauma Center at Bryan West Campus treated two patients who sustained injuries from tornadoes that touched down in Lancaster County. Both patients are currently in triage.
Part of Highway 6 near 98th Street is still closed. LSO asks drivers to stay away from the facility.

Looks like the Elkhorn tornado will be one of the top 20 strongest tornados ever . Over 230 mph gate to gate wind speed. First EF - 5 tornado in 11 years.

It's that time of year in that part of the country. It's one thing I don't miss living in Kansas a few F 4-5 came close to Wichita when I was living there.
Hate those things! I grew up in Stillwater, OK and sometime in the mid 60s there were 103 tornados that touched down statewide in one 24 hour period. I was only worried about the one that hit Stillwater.
