WAYNE, Neb. — The tornado cleanup continued Sunday in northeast Nebraska and northwest Iowa as residents worked to clear the debris the storms left behind.
Officials say the storms caused significant damage to dozens of businesses and a number of rural homes as several tornadoes touched down Friday. The most severe damage was in Wayne, Neb., but storms also damaged homes near Macy, Neb., and into rural areas of northwest Iowa near Sloan.
Tornado expert Dr. Greg Forbes says he estimates a total of 12 tornadoes touched down Friday in Nebraska and Iowa. However, he stresses these are preliminary numbers and could change as the National Weather Service finishes its damage surveys Monday, Oct. 7.
