July 6, 2024 1:23 PM CT | UNK | 8 NE Smithfield | NE | Public reported tornado on the ground. Location estimated from radar. |
July 6, 2024 3:48 PM CT | UNK | 1 N Minden | NE | Tornado touched down in the area of the golf course then moved southeast through the northeast part of town... just south of the airport. The ground circulation was likely small and somewhat disorganized at this stage as most of the damage in town was to trees. The tornado grew in intensity on the northeast outskirts of town where a couple metal buildings sustained roof and overhead door damage. The tornado appeared to track along the highway northeast of town before crossing into a corn field and overturning pivots. Based on storm chaser video... this is where the condensation funnel was largest and most obvious. The end of the track between 33 Road and 34 Road was confirmed by drone video submitted to the NWS. The peak rating is based on the tree damage at the golf course... and damage to metal buildings on the edge of town. The tornado width is estimated based on observed damage and storm chaser video. Extensive tree damage was noted further south in the rest of the town of Minden... but |
