One large high precipitation supercell formed near the Nebraska Kansas border and tracked south during the evening of June 11th producing widespread damaging straight line winds of 80-110 mph along with several small tornadoes.   The majority of property damage was done by straight line winds within what was the rear flank downdraft of the supercell which was moving south southwest.  The widespread destructive winds within the RFD often preceded any smaller vortex with the small tornadoes making damage from tornadoes difficult to distinguish from the downbursts and microbursts within the larger RFD swath.   We believe there were at least 5 tornadoes that evening all EF0 or EF1.  Ironically, the magnitude of damage from straight line winds in spots exceeded that of the smaller tornadoes.

Tornado in MARSHALL, KANSAS
From 11-JUN-22 17:02:00 to 11-JUN-22 17:05:00 (CST-6)
Location: MARYSVILLE ARPT
Tornado F-scale: EF1
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

Storm survey and storm chaser video and photos revealed a brief tornado just northeast of Marysville.  This tornado did damage to a barn and power pole short path.  The damage to a lumber shop south of highway 36 appears to have been related to a possible RFD surge south (straight line winds) and not this tornado.

Damage survey revealed a garage was destroyed on the south side of state line road with debris thrown north back into Nebraska (across the road).  A sporadic damage path moved southeast and ended around highway 77 where power poles were broken along with some tree limb damage.   This tornado moved south out of Nebraska and ended in Kansas.

Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

Another tornado path that was nearly indistinguishable from the widespread straight line wind damage that preceded it into the north side of Blue Rapids.  It appears that a tornado did damage along a path that traveled just north of a Georgia Pacific Plant along and just west of highway 77 where it derailed train cars then pushed south into the river bottoms snapping trees.  The track became very broad as it approached the river where it appears it transitioned to a damaging downburst surge of 100-105 mph straight line winds across the city of Blue Rapids with the worst damage on the west side of the city.

Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

Two surveys were done by NWS for this damage.   It appears that a very short path narrow tornado occurred embedded on the northeast flank of small enhanced downburst that created widespread damaging north to northwest winds.  Several homes were heavily damaged with the debris field blown to the northeast or approximately perpendicular to the movement.  It appears the tornado was narrow and only 25-50 yards at the widest.

Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A tornado formed just east of Olsburg and tracked south southwest to the Spillway State Park on the southeast side Tuttle Creek Reservoir. The circulation became broad and dominated by the northwest winds of the RFD (rear flank downdraft) as it moved over the Tuttle Creek Dam and state park.  Enhanced destructive northwest winds then appeared to have descended into the city of Manhattan where widespread 80 to 100 mph winds were likely and did widespread damage.  Radar also indicated smaller microbursts where winds were likely in excess of 100 mph out of the NNW across the city of Manhattan.  NWS survey documented the worst damage in Manhattan where winds were likely 100 to 110 mph.
