PHOTOS: Tornado confirmed in southwest Lancaster County from Saturday morning
A second tornado across southeast Nebraska has been confirmed, this time from the National Weather Service of Omaha.
In southwest Lancaster County, a brief and narrow tornado formed within downburst winds, striking a portion of Martell just after 8 a.m. on Saturday.
According to a survey done by the National Weather Service, the tornado uprooted and snapped trees, tore the roof off a BnB that was attached to a large barn and caused roof and siding damage.
Estimated peak winds of 110 mph were assessed from the damage, causing this tornado to be “higher-end” of the EF-1 scale.
The maximum width was estimated at 100 yards, only lasting about one minute with no injuries.
