OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The National Weather Service says it’s confirmed that a second, weaker tornado touched down briefly in northwest Omaha.
The service said in a web posting Friday the EF0 twister alighted at 3:49 p.m. Wednesday onto a pond and lifted within a minute. An EF0 tornado carries winds from 65 to 85 mph. No damage or injuries have been reported.
The first tornado was rated an EF1, packing winds of 86 to 110 mph. The service says the tornado stayed on the ground for about eight blocks and seemed to bob up and down after it struck around 3:45 p.m. It toppled a few trees, damaged others and knocked down some fences before dissipating about four minutes later. No injuries have been reported.
