Nebraskans Begin to Clean Up After Weekend Storms
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Nebraskans are beginning to clean up debris and assess the damage this weekend's severe thunderstorms and tornadoes left behind.
Sunday's storms caused damage across much of eastern Nebraska roughly on a line from the Kansas border up through Hastings and Omaha. No serious injuries were reported.
Some of the worst damage was in the towns of Sutton and Cordova.
Sutton Fire Chief Chris Moore says volunteers began cleaning up debris and trees limbs around town at 7 a.m. Monday.
Most of Sutton's downtown buildings sustained damage, but they were all still standing. Moore says structural experts are evaluating the buildings.
At least three Sutton homes lost their roofs and several others were damaged.
Moore says utility officials estimate that Sutton will be without power for at least two days.
Meanwhile, much of Interstate 80 in southern Wyoming is closed after a spring storm brought up to 3 feet of snow to the Rockies.
A flash flood watch was in effect for portions of Oklahoma and Arkansas, while the Nebraska Panhandle was blanketed in heavy, wet snow.
In Colorado, the snow that began falling on Mother's Day caused some power outages as it weighed down newly greening trees. Denver International Airport temporarily lost power but the weather wasn't causing any major delays.
The storm appears to be to blame for at least one fatal crash southwest of Denver.
