[Updated] (Omaha, NE)- National Weather Service survey teams out of Valley, NE., have finished assessing the damage from Tuesday nights’ storms. Officials say two tornadoes were reported. One occurred near Murdock, NE. The other near Treynor, IA.
The Intermittent tornado began at about 12:18-a.m. Wednesday approximately 3 miles south of Treynor and ended 3 miles southeast of Treynor. The tornado traveled mainly across crop and pastureland. It packed winds of up to 102 mph, and was 75 yards wide. The twister struck the Prairie Crossing Winery, destroying the event center. Peripheral damage occurred to trees and vines. The community of Treynor, including the Treynor Football Team, quickly organized, and within an hour, helped to clear the trees and debris from the property. Owner Doug Gray was appreciated of their efforts.
A cluster of supercell thunderstorms moved through the region Tuesday evening, June 14 2022 into the early morning hours of Wednesday, June 15th 2022. The storms produced widespread wind gusts of 75 to 115 mph, hail from 1 to 3 inches in diameter, and two EF1 tornadoes. Minor flooding was also reported in Omaha. The storms caused widespread tree damage, and some structural damage to homes and businesses.

[COUNCIL BLUFFS] – Pottawattamie County Emergency Management Coordinator Doug Reed said Wednesday, “Emergency Management personnel began local preliminary damage assessments today, focusing on the areas with initial publicly reported damages from the overnight severe storm system. Currently there are no significant public infrastructure damages reported and only limited reports of residential & business damages. The heaviest damages observed today were in south central Pottawattamie County which resulted in a total loss of a business.
Additional damages were observed in eastern Pottawattamie County, including Carson, Macedonia, and rural areas eastward toward Cass County. Those damages primarily consisted of residential properties that were affected by falling limbs, trees, or high winds. Currently, (63) structures have been impacted by the severe weather event along with a few parks & recreation areas receiving some form of tree damage, debris, or other related minor damages.”
“The important numbers right now,” Reed said, “are that there have been zero injuries or fatalities related to this storm event and nearly all utility outages have been restored. This nighttime tornado scenario is one of the ones that scares me the most; nearly everyone is home, and nearly everyone is asleep.” Reed reminds everyone that you need to have multiple ways to receive warning alerts. “Have a weather radio, sign up for our free emergency and weather alerts, and leave those device’s volumes turned on during the night – there’s simply no other solution.”
Damage reports from the public will be accepted over the next couple of days as officials continue to assess the overall impact and potential need for assistance. To report your damages and receive updates related to this severe weather event go to the Emergency Management Agency website at https://pcema-ia.org.
