That hook echo over Cedar Creek is incredible as well as the storm relative velocity showing a nice couplet. Bellevue is really under the gun in the next few minutes
 
Impressive hook near Claflin, KS at the moment ... after passing over Hoisington. NWS reports a tornado very near Hoisington.

EDIT1: TOR 2 mi. NE of Claflin. TOR WRNG Ellsworth Co., moving east at 50 mph.

That storm is a serious right-mover with the environment all to itself. I don't even want to think about what it does if it is still kickin' when the LLJ gets cranking after dark.
 
TOR warned cell in Sarpy CO, NE looks to be pass between Bellevue and Plattsmouth, with a direct path to Offutt AFB, possible large rain-wrapped tornado on the ground.

EDIT: No reports of anything on the ground, but several funnel reports

Just got in from chasing, not sure if its been mentioned but a boy scout camp took a hit, many injured and sadly fatalities being reported by local media, I was on the storm but lost it due to the river, and then opting to drop South... I chased the storms through the Omaha metro for a while, but things are quite linear and messy, IMO the threat is shifting to what will be substantial flooding...
 
Ottawa KS storm seems to have a large couplet just outside of Minneapolis -- but no tornado warning. This feature has been persistent for a number of scans now... puzzling.
 
The same hook is near Kanopolis Lake moving toward Assaria along Interstate 135 in Saline Co., south of Salina, KS.

Report of a tornado near Kanopolis.

EDIT1: TOR for Saline Co.

EDIT2: TOAs 8:56 at Lindsborg (or just north) and 9:03pm Assaria per KWCH TV..
 
The sirens have subsided in Western Douglas county. Seems like we dodged a bullet. We may have lost a small tree in our front yard. It's rather hunched over.
 
Salina KS NOW!

Tornado SW of Salina NOW baseball hail west of Salina NOW! 138 MPH shear heading into SW side of town NOW!!!

EDIT: Tornado has hit Salina with confirmed damage at a nursing home. Other reports are now coming in.

Report of baseball sized hail at airport.
 
Rain wrapped?

Tornado SW of Salina NOW baseball hail west of Salina NOW! 138 MPH shear heading into SW side of town NOW!!!

Im wondering if there has been anything seen actually on the ground with the Salina storm....looks like it may be in a recycle phase or rain wrapped right now. Anyone have any live feeds from TV stations that cover this area? Perhaps some severestudios chasers are on this altho their cams would be too dark to view.

I would not be surprised to see a new tornado threat SW of Salina in the next hour or so as the cell to the SW tracks slightly South of where the first cell passed. Area already has meso markers and inflow noth like the Salina storm had earlier and then became a hooked beast.
