A dozen stories at the link above.

The twin tornadoes that raked across northeast Nebraska were part of an outbreak of twisters that left a path of death and destruction along a 60-mile swath of countryside, including a direct hit on Pilger.

At 28 seconds the huge pieces of heavy corrugated steel 20-40 ft. across fly above the town. I used to build bins like this and can't imagine the power needed to tear them to pieces.

That was a vicious looking storm. And the coverage of all the damage is heartbreaking.
