[Mike Mezeul II]

Reed Timmer is streaming what looks to be a large wedge tornado...

 

[Andrew Stoller]

Right northwest of Hastings - new meso has formed - Mark farnik reports a vertical tower with rotating wall cloud - just exploded within 10 minutes. Looks like the one to the northwest has occluded.

 

[Jonathan Whitehead]

storm in northern Rooks Co in KS is looking better and better

EDIT: nice looking wall cloud on Dennis Sherrod's webcam

 

[Andrew Stoller]

Hmmmmm, looks like crapvection is taking over around Grand Island. Mark Farnik is headed south to Red Cloud to intercept the Rooks county beast. That sucker doesn't have anything to it's east to block inflow.

 

[Jay McCoy]

Guess Mark left a bit too early. Tornado reported 3 miles west of Grand Island at 6:30pm.

 

[Andrew Stoller]

Yea, it looks like new development northwest of Hastings now - things seem to be reorganizing. Oops! Such is chasing...

:edit: big couplet northeast of Hastings, but I bet visibility is non-existent as far as a photogenic tornado.

 

[Jonathan Whitehead]

Jonathans' bailing south for KS....im sure with hundreds of others

EDIT: Im afraid that one is going to get eaten up by the cell on its a** just like the one in NE

 

[Tony Laubach]

Have seen three tornadoes so far. A brief one south of Elm Creek. The second west of Kearney. Destroyed a structure 200 yards north of I-80. The third was a large cone that went through the north side of Kearney with a multitude of power flashes seen.

Heading south on 281 to Kansas and just north of Red Cloud.

 

[Derek Weston]

Strong looking couplet starting develop just south and east of Aurora Nebraska.

 

[Jonathan Whitehead]

new meso near Aurora, shes a wet one

 

[Derek Weston]

Town of Hampton along 34 needs to watch out... might pass just south. Likely producing a tornado right now.

 

[Derek Weston]

Storm heading for York Nebraska -- couplet not quite as strong as it was perhaps, but folks should certainly be taking cover.

 

[Willoughby Owen]

Three flipped over semis, damage to grain elevator here on the I80 SW of Aurora where the couplet passed

 

[Jonathan Williams]

High risk has been lifted. Now only a moderate. Looks like this will not be as bad as originally thought because of unorganized storms along the warm front.

 

[Andrew Stoller]

The best play is definitely in north central KS where storms remain more discrete.
