NORTHEAST NEBRASKA, SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA, AND NORTHWEST IOWA SAW SOME BIG TIME STORMS LAST NIGHT (6/23/03). MANY TORNADOS SPOTTED IN ANTELOPE, CEDAR AND OTHER NEBRASKA COUNTIES AS WELL AS WOODBURY, IDA, AND CHEROKEE IN IOWA. WE HERE IN PLYMOUTH COUNTY SAW OUR FAIR SHARE, ALTHOUGH NOT AS MUCH AS OTHERS. HERE'S MY REPORT BELOW:
 
WE ENDED UP WITH 1.65 INCHES OF RAIN. HEAVY RAIN, THUNDER, AND WINDS ARRIVED AT 11:35 OR SO AND I THOUGHT THE BASKETBALL HOOP WOULD BLOW OVER (THANKFULLY WE HAVE ABOUT 300 POUNDS OF WEIGHT ON THERE!!) BEFORE I WENT TO BED, I SAW THE STORM LINE FORMING A "BOW" SHAPE POINTING NORTHWARD ON THE RADAR SCREEN, THAT RESEMBLES HIGH WINDS BEHIND THE STORM AND THAT WAS CORRECT. BECAUSE, ONCE THE MAIN PART OF THE STORM WENT THROUGH, AROUND 11:45 OR SO, THE WINDS BOOSTED UP TO FULL THROTTLE. WE THINK THAT LIGHTNING STRUCK ONE OF OUR TREES. PART OF IT WAS BLOWN ABOUT 40 FEET AWAY AND STRUCK ANOTHER TREE AND SMASHED ABOUT 15 FEET OF BARBED WIRE FENCING. I LOOKED AND SAW THAT THE BARBED WIRE WAS SNAPPED WHEN THE TREE FELL.
 
BELOW IS A LINK TO THE PICTURES OF THE STORM.
