An intense low pressure system that caused blizzard conditions in western South Dakota brought high winds to western and north central Nebraska.  The winds were sustained from 40 to 45 mph with most gusts around 60 mph.  An automated weather observing system near Rushville in northwest Sheridan County reported a gust to 84 mph.  The winds overturned a vacated mobile home in Rushville in northwest Sheridan County, uprooted and broke off trees, destroyed small sheds, downed power lines, peeled back roofing on a building at a lumberyard in Hyannis in Grant County, and removed shingles from numerous buildings. The intense winds spread southward through the morning hours and overturned a Fed-Ex semi-truck on Highway 97 about 5 miles southeast of Tryon in McPherson County and another semi-truck on Interstate 80 near Maxwell in Lincoln County.  The drivers of the semi-truck received only minor injuries.  Visibilities were reduced to 1 mile or less at times in blowing dust and sand.
