June 22, 2013 - Tornado

A storm survey team from the National Weather Service in Cheyenne rated the June 22 2013 Banner County Nebraska tornado as a EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale with maximum three second wind gusts of 100 mph. The tornado, which developed from a high precipitation supercell thunderstorm, touched down about 17 miles west-northwest of Harrisburg Nebraska. The tornado moved to the east-southeast for several miles before dissipating about 10 miles northwest of Harrisburg. A total of eight structures were damaged with at least one outbuilding destroyed. The outbuilding was supported by large wooden planks about six inches thick...most of which were snapped at the center. The roof was removed from a three stall garage but all of the walls remained intact. A two-story hone was damaged by flying debris, with a 2 X 4 inch plank driven through the second floor wall by the tornadic winds. Sheet metal and wooden boards from damaged outbuildings were found 50 to 100 yards to the northwest in a shelter belt. Multiple other structures suffered roof damage with sections of sheet metal peeled off. Six power poles were snapped near the touchdown site with another damaged east of Stegall Road. Several six to 12 inch diameter hardwood trees were also snapped. Center pivots were either flipped or twisted in multiple directions along the tornado's path.
