A swath of crop damage, overturned pivots and minor property damage was the result of severe thunderstorms, which rumbled across south central Nebraska. The thunderstorms moved east and southeast with the most significant damage in southern Gosper and northeast Furnas counties. In the boot heel of Gosper County, crops were ravaged by golf ball size hail and 70 mph winds. At least two pivots were overturned. The storm responsible for the Gosper County damage took a southeast turn and hammered the Oxford area. Large trees fell throughout the town of Oxford and baseball size hail was reported west of town. Several pivots were overturned by the wind. This storm weakened just a bit, but still managed to produce 60 mph winds and nickel size hail in much of Franklin County. Earlier in the evening, a lonesome thunderstorm in the Holdrege area produced golf ball size southeast of town.
