(KTNC) - Officials now say the damage from Monday night's severe storms in southeast Nebraska was caused by at least one tornado -- and likely two twisters. Mark Meints, emergency management coordinator for Gage County, says they did a careful survey of the damage with a team from the National Weather Service Office in Valley. (play audio :18 “miles an hour.”)
Meints says the first tornado moved east from Jefferson County into Gage County, causing significant damage. (play audio :17 “like that.”)
An outbuilding that contained several pieces of farm equipment was demolished near Harbine, and damage to that one structure and its contents may exceed a million dollars. No injuries were reported from Monday’s storm in Nebraska.
