Severe thunderstorms produced widespread damage to trees and structures in south central Nebraska. The worst damage occurred near Central City. 90 mph winds destroyed five grain bins and ripped about 20 rafters from a farm house near town. The occupants were uninjured. The next morning, nearly 70 volunteers assisted in the clean-up of over 30 tons of mangled steel. Most of the damage in the area was from trees falling on power lines, cars and houses. A tree fell on a house and into the bedroom of a little girl in Polk County. The girl was uninjured. In Furnas County, heavy rain and the eventual runoff caused flooding on the Turkey Creek east of Edison during the predawn hours.
