No Injuries Reported After Tornadoes in Cherry, Hooker Counties

NOAA-NWS6OMAHA, Neb. (AP)–The National Weather Service says it received reports of several tornadoes in Nebraska after a severe storm system tracked across the northern Plains.

Meteorologist Darren Snively in the North Platte office says radar, spotter reports and pictures show that three tornadoes touched down Tuesday night in Cherry and Hooker counties, in the northwestern part of the state.

He says the Weather Service had received reports of a semi-trailer overturned and a car that rolled over in the area. No injuries were reported.

The Weather Service says tornadoes were also reported in the northeastern part of the state, near the South Dakota border.

Meteorologist Scott Dergan says it didn’t appear that those storms hit populated areas, but some farmsteads were damaged.

The Cedar County Sheriff’s Office had no reports of injuries.
