At least one person was killed and 26 others were injured Monday when tornadoes struck parts of Nebraska, according to local hospitals.
Images televised by CNN showed two tornadoes moving through a predominantly rural area in Stanton County.
A large tornado had caused “significant damage” near Stanton, the Weather Channel reported on its Twitter feed. The National Weather Service reported that several homes had been destroyed in Pilger.
“We saw a couple people get pulled out of their house, pretty covered in blood, looked like the guy broke his arm,” resident Bryan Mendlik said. “Anybody that was on Main Street, if they weren’t in their basement, they would be hurt.”
