Storms Cause Damage in Eastern Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A supercell storm system that spawned a tornado has damaged homes and businesses in several eastern Nebraska communities.
No injuries have been reported.
National Weather Service meteorologist Barbara Mayes says the tornado was first spotted just after 10 p.m. Thursday, two miles east of Hickman in Lancaster County. The twister roared northeast into or near the towns of Bennet and Palmyra before lifting up.
Mayes says the storm carried straight-line winds that damaged homes and knocked down trees in Plattsmouth.
Heavy rain also was reported, including more than 2 inches in Lincoln and 1.5 inches in Omaha by 1 a.m. Friday.
The storm system moved into northwest Iowa, but Mayes says she's received no reports of damage or injuries.
