[August 02, 2022]      

A severe storm, with obviously strong winds passed through Logan County in the early morning hours of Monday, August 1st.

After the storm, Beason resident and LDN reader Holly Snyder went out and grabbed a few shots of the damage done at the Beason grain elevator.

Workers at the elevator survey the damage from a distance on Monday morning.

 

Debris on the ground in the center of the photo appears to be part of a catwalk or ladder system along with what could be parts of the grain bins. The left hand bin has a large hole blown into it at the top.

The right hand bin is severely damaged, missing its top cone and it appears that the wind caved in one side of the bin.
 

 

A closer look at the large bin shows that indeed the wall is curled in within itself.

 

The tree damage in this photo is quite clear. If you look closer at the ground in the tree line and on the far side of the two vehicles, it appears that could be part of the grain bins from the elevator; perhaps sections of the top cone of the largest bin that was damaged.

Thanks to Holly Snyder for providing these photos.

 

Additional damages and power outages were reported in the surrounding area and in portions of downtown Lincoln. West of Lincoln along Fifth Street Road, west of Interstate 55, near 900th Ave, power lines were crossing the road. And north of Lincoln, north of Interstate 55 near 1250th Ave trees downed lines with causing power to be out for hours.

The freak storm was a narrow band that passed over Lincoln just after 5 a.m.
