Two Minor Injuries Reported After NE Storms

severe-weather(AP) — Officials began a damage and site survey on Tuesday to confirm whether tornadoes or straight-line winds battered houses and farm buildings and ripped up trees and road signs in south-central and southeast Nebraska.

Clay County emergency manager Loren Uden says two minor injuries were reported after a storm that struck Edgar a little after 7:30 p.m. Monday, including a driver whose car was lifted off a road.

Uden says 10 to 15 Edgar houses were damaged, some by the wind and some by blown-down trees or tree limbs. He says five grain bins were heavily damaged at the Edgar Co-op.

National Weather Service meteorologist Van DeWald (deh-WAWLD’) says a storm caused some minor damage a little after 9 p.m. Monday near Diller in Jefferson County.
