Outbreak yields dozens of tornado reports

Tornadoes were reported in five states as part of Thursday’s outbreak: Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and Wyoming. The Storm Prediction Center logged 20 tornado reports in northern Kansas, encompassing Jewell, Republic, Rooks, Sheridan, Mitchell and Osborne counties.

There were 19 tornadoes reported in Nebraska, 10 in Iowa, six in South Dakota and two in Wyoming. The actual number of tornadoes that touched down is almost certainly to be less, however, since multiple reports could be different locations or angles of the same tornado.

Thankfully, no fatalities were reported.
