No Serious Damage Reported After Tornado in Nebraska

tornado-sirenSUPERIOR, Neb. (AP) — The National Weather Service says a tornado has touched down in south-central Nebraska, but there are no reports of injuries or serious damage.

Jeremy Wesely, lead forecaster in the weather service’s Hastings office, says the tornado touched down in Nuckolls County just after 6 p.m. Sunday. He says it traveled through mainly rural areas of the county.

He says no “substantial” damage was reported as of Sunday night.

Just over the border in northern Kansas, some structural damage was reported and at least two people were injured in the small town of Munden.

Parts of Nebraska and Iowa could see thunderstorms overnight, and the weather service is warning that parts of the southern and central Great Plains could see significant severe thunderstorms on Tuesday, with some strong tornadoes possible.
