LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln residents are cleaning up from powerful overnight storms that downed trees and power lines and cut power to some segments of the city.

The storms rolled in around midnight Friday, bringing heavy rain, hail, lightning and winds of 60 mph.

By late Saturday morning, the Lincoln Electric System was still working to return service to four areas of the city where at least 100 customers were without power.

Norris Public Power also reported scattered outages Saturday morning in Lancaster and Saline counties.

Weather forecasters predicted more rain for the area Saturday afternoon and evening.

YUTAN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska State Patrol says a man who sped off during a traffic stop crashed into the back of a semitrailer while trying to elude police and died.

Authorities say a Yutan police officer reported that the man’s car was speeding through town when he tried to pull the car over. Authorities say the man briefly stopped, but when the officer told him to shut off his engine, the man sped off.

The patrol says the man was speeding eastbound on Highway 92 toward Omaha when he slammed into the back of a semitrailer.

The driver was taken to an Omaha hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Officials have not yet released his name.

WINNEBAGO, Neb. (AP) — An Indian Health Service spokeswoman says the service’s Winnebago hospital in northeast Nebraska will remain open while officials access its future after losing its Medicare and Medicaid funding.

IHS spokeswoman Theresa Eisenman said the hospital had not filed an appeal as of Friday after the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services notified the hospital of its contract termination.

The hospital was warned earlier this month that funding would be terminated because it “no longer meets the requirements for participation in the Medicare program because of deficiencies that represent an immediate jeopardy to patient health and safety.”

A May federal report said the hospital’s inadequate treatment resulted in one death this year and harm to at least nine other patients.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Lincoln City Council will consider a proposal next week to ban flying lanterns — or what Public Safety Director Tom Casady calls “flying bags of fire.”

Councilman Roy Christensen proposed the ban, and that Bill Moody, the city’s chief fire inspector, supports it.

The fire department has reported numerous fires over the past few years started by the flying lanterns, which are small paper air balloons powered by a flame.

That includes a fire last year started by a flying lantern when it landed on the roof of a townhouse in the Williamsburg neighborhood, causing about $260,000 in damage.

Christensen’s proposal would ban the sale and use of the paper lanterns within city limits.

MADISON, Neb. (AP) — A Norfolk woman convicted of setting fire to a mobile home was sentenced to 10 to 12 years in prison, prompting her to unleash a torrent of obscenities at the judge.

28-year-old Cassie Zoubek was sentenced Friday. She had previously pleaded guilty to second-degree arson.

In sentencing her, Madison County District Judge James Kube noted Zoubek lack of remorse and her statement that she “would do it again with a big, happy face.”

Her outburst Friday was not her first in court. The judge ordered her to undergo a competency evaluation after she ranted in an April hearing about what she said was a corrupt court system and made comments about a number of her tattoos.
