"On the evening of Sunday, June 22, 2003, severe storms pounded southern
Nebraska and northern Kansas with about a foot (30 cm) of rain, large
hailstones, and at least seven tornadoes. The image above shows the tops of
the thunderheads with their characteristic anvil clouds extending eastward
at 7:15 p.m. central time.

The image above and accompanying animation were produced using NOAA
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) data. Shortly
before this image was acquired, four tornadoes touched down around Deshler,
Nebraska town of about 900 people located 75 miles (120 km) southwest of
Lincoln. The twisters damaged or destroyed at least 100 homes and 25
businesses, according to local news reports."

"Record-setting hail (6.5 inches in diameter) was reported at Aurora in
Hamilton county Nebraska around 00:05 UTC on 23 June 2003 (7:05 PM Central
time on 22 June 2003). The convection that produced this large hail was
also responsible for several reports of tornadoes and damaging winds across
that region. NOAA GOES-12 visible imagery (above, left) revealed that this
convection was initiated along the western edge of a region of stable
boundary layer wave clouds over southeastern Nebraska (remnants of a
convective outflow from earlier in the day). GOES-12 10.7 micrometer
InfraRed (IR) imagery (above, right) depicted classic, long-lived
"enhanced-v" cloud top signatures with this convection."
