A wind gust struck the area at an estimated 45-50 mph about 12:30
a.m. Friday. Storm spotters to the north saw a trailing cloud form a
twister that touched down about 1 1/2 miles northeast of Lincoln, in
the area of Kruger elevator. Animals from a farm where a barn and
fence were struck had to be corralled back off the roadway after
this event. Also, a house in Lincoln caught fire after it was struck
by lightning.
No damage has been reported from this morning's storm, which
affected areas mostly to the south of Lincoln.
Potentially severe storm warnings are in effect for the remainder
of the day. Rain and storms are predicted for Saturday and Sunday as
well.
