Emerson Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Emergency Manager reported downed powerlines and an outbuilding destroyed.
A small line of mini-supercell thunderstorms moved across extreme eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa this day. Some of these cells produced short-lived and relatively small tornadoes that would briefly touch down, lift and then produce another tornado within a half hour or so. This tornado produced damage to 2 farmsteads, damaging a pole shed, trailers, a machine shed as well as downing a few trees and power lines. This particular mini-supercell also produced the tornado that touched down northwest of Carson and then eventually northwest of Tennant, Iowa.

Due to the power outage that has been going on for 3 days, we can’t be at what we call home. AC is off, lights are off, oven is off and refrigerators are off with no food since became bad due to no cooling and cooking. It’s outrageous that this situation has been going on for 72 hours and there is no solution yet. Kindly asking please take care of our neighborhood since we have kids that have their own necessities too. Thank you in advance.
