OMAHA, Neb. —A severe thunderstorm early Tuesday dumped prolific amounts of hail across Douglas, Sarpy and Pottawattamie County. KETV in Omaha says the first reports of hail came from near 198th and Harrison. Viewers started reporting piles of hail stretching all the way to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs.

A driver near 144th & Industrial Road had to be rescued with a tow truck from hail more than one-foot deep in the road. Other images showed hail that damaged siding in the area, filled yards, and stripped the leaves off trees and plants. Hail also covered the streets in Adair this morning.
