Events
A NWS survey team determined a tornado tracked through the eastern and northern sections of Fremont before lifting a little north northeast of town. The tornado touched down near the intersection of old Highway 275 and Morningside Road and progressed north generally east of Lincoln Street. The tornado uprooted or snapped numerous trees, damaged a few homes and severely damaged a garage along its path. One vehicle was flipped over while other vehicles and homes sustained damage from fallen trees. The YMCA sustained major roof damage. A few power poles were snapped near and north of 23rd Street and center pivot was damaged on the north side of town before the tornado lifted. The path length was determined to be a little over 6 miles while the average width of the damage path was around 700 yards. As of late June the damage in town was estimated at a little over a quarter of million dollars.
