EbylHusker Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Three tornadoes on the ground at once with that cell. Not multi-vortex, but three separate roating updrafts. I've never even heard of anything like that. The amount of inflow to produce two separate, violent tornadoes from the same cell is staggering. Not to mention a third weakling rope tornado at the same time. The chase streams were amazing. Damage looks to be strong EF-4 in places. I've seen one photo that appeared to be approaching EF-5, but I don't think it was scoured enough to qualify. The stuff that blew up north of GI as that storm moved out of Nebraska has produced one of the most beautiful supercells I've seen in a long time. Not to mention it dropped multiple tornadoes. Action isn't done for the night either, there will be more. Quote Link to comment

I was stationed at Hastings at the time (AF radar site). First wave in search and rescue crew ..... myself, scary as hell because pure black environment (power outage). Plus cheapo flashlight. 8:45 to 9:30 p.m. - F3 - very slow movement 9:00 to 9:10 - unknown strength 9:05 to 9:30 - F1 9:45 to 9:50 - unknown strength 10:15 to 10:25 - F4 10:25 to 10:35 - F2 10:45 to 11:25 - unknown strength- very slow movement Quote Link to comment

My wife's best friend took some pictures of a cell that came through last summer and they were just spectacular. I will see if she can send them to me and I will post them. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vpO7SolpvM Watch closely at 2:40 mark. Lift the entire house in lower right hand corner ala Wizard of Oz. Hopefully no fatalities. Quote Link to comment

EbylHusker Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I wasn't out getting pictures today, I had the soccer games on, about 6 live streams going, along with emergency radio and radar programs. There are tons of pics and videos out there, though. Here is another one with the main Pilger tornado crossing the road right in front of the filming chasers at the very end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jse6ZwP1g1g Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I grew up not far from where all of this took place. Actually know some people who were there in the thick of it. My hometown was spared only because the storms went to the North and South around it. Terrible news about the little kid and the town of Pilger. It's going to be a difficult rebuild.
