First off, congrats to Mike H and any others who bagged the TOR near Hastings NE Monday evening!
I was on shift at the WFO and we observed the low-hanging wall cloud from the office, about 15 miles to the SW. Soon, the storm shifted too far south and we lost sight of it in the rain before the TOR formed. The TOR actually dropped about 12 miles WSW of the office, marking the closest call Hastings has had with a legitimate TOR since probably 5/22/04. Preliminary reports indicate only center pivots were damaged, but this thing "looked" pretty strong based on photos.
As of 300 AM this morning, the only photos I have come across are via the KHAS-TV website, but I'm sure there are/will be others.
