EF1 tornado in Hitchcock County, Nebraska

Tornado moved southeast through the community baseball and football fields. Multiple hard wood trees were snapped, uprooted, or otherwise damaged. Wooden 13 foot pole at baseball field was snapped about 4 feet high, leading to the 110 MPH rating. Poles on either side are fine. Oil field pipe (6' in diameter) for field sign were bent down to the ground. However field goal posts that are smaller are fine. Part of the fence surrounding the football field on west side was bent outward. Part of the canopy roof for the football stands was peeled back. Tin from the roof was blown up to a half mile northeast from the stadium. Most of the roof that was blown landed roughly 100 yards to the northeast. New building behind stadium roof with no doors on north and south sides was not damaged. A 10' diameter tree limb behind the stadium was broken off. However other trees behind the stadium were undamaged. After the tornado passed the football field it turned south before ending at the edge of the trees by the field.

In the evening hours of the 23rd, a few storm cells fired off of a cold front coming in from the northwest. As the evening progressed, the scattered storms formed a well organized line of storms. The storms produced baseball sized hail, damaging winds up around 85 MPH, one EF1 and one EF0 tornado.
