Nebraska got pretty lucky. The afternoon storms actually cooled things down enough to a point where the nighttime storms didn't get too bad. As it was, still some funnel clouds north of Lincoln. If the environment had been a bit less stable, you might have seen the kind of carnage they got in Kansas and Oklahoma tonight.
As for Lincoln tornadoes.... I lived near the airport and one just missed us by maybe 1/2 a mile. Would have been approximately 30 years ago. It was April 3rd, because my brother's birthday was the day before, and they had a tornado drill at school. Then the very next day, there was an actual tornado. That's the only one I can remember, though. I moved in '84.
