What a Night for Tornadoes

nightIf Monday wasn’t wild enough, things got crazy once again Tuesday evening in northeastern Nebraska. A tornado turned into a wedge and began spinning off multiple vorticies/tornadoes.

A storm fired up Tuesday afternoon, but a Tornado Warning wasn’t issued until approximately 8 p.m. A slow-moving supercell meandered for every hours, spawning photogenic wedge and stovepipe tornadoes. As afternoon turned to night, the funnels remained partially visible. Eventually, the storm began to weaken and become rain-wrapped.

Here’s a photo of the tornado early on in the storm’s life:
