Tornado in CASS, NEBRASKA
From 14-JUN-22 22:27:00 to 14-JUN-22 22:29:00 (CST-6)
Location: MURDOCK
Tornado F-scale: EF1
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A tornado developed near Church Road west of 298th Street and immediately damaged a home. One of the roof peaks was torn off and garage doors blown in. The damage here was very focused as nearby trees were not damaged, but insulation from the home was stuck to 3 different sides of the home, indicating this was likely a tornado. Farther east, there was an area of focused tree damage approximately 150 yards wide embedded within a several mile wide area of more minor tree damage. The tornado continued east where it snapped several power poles and caused minor damage to a church. Additional damage to grain bins and trees was noted along Church road just west of 322nd street, which appears to be the end of the focused damage most likely caused by the tornado. This tornado occurred within a several mile wide area of intense straight-line wind damage which was caused by winds at times greater than 80 mph.
