1008 PM Tstm Wnd Dmg 2 S Utica 40.87N 97.34W
06/14/2022 Seward NE NWS Storm Survey
NWS damage survey confirmed that an
extensive area of intense winds, often
accompanied by significant hail, impacted a
large portion of Seward county. Damage
suggests that the peak wind approached 115
mph at times 2 miles south of Utica, with
several damage indicators indicating wind
speeds greater than 100 mph. Dozens of
center pivot irrigation systems were
completely flipped over. A cell phone tower
collapsed. Barns were badly damaged or
destroyed. The wind driven hail, at times up
to 3 inches in diameter according to
residents, completely destroyed crops to the
extent that some fields appeared to have
never had crops planted in them despite
being full and green prior to the storm.
Numerous homes experienced windows and
siding completely destroyed. In several
places, trees were debarked due to the wind
driven hail. The hardest hit area was in a 2
to 7 mile wide (north to south) area
extending from the York county line through
5 miles east of Seward and running along and
south of Highway 34.

06/14/2022 Cass NE NWS Storm Survey
An NWS survey team observed a broad, intense
area of severe straight line winds. Some of
the most intense winds extended from an area
near Greenwood to the east and southeast,
impacting Murdock, Louisville, Manley, and
other areas. Most of the damage was snapped
trees and power poles, but there was also
damage to buildings and grain bins. This
large downburst area was several miles wide
and frequently had 60 to 80 mph winds with
some locations experiencing gusts to nearly
100 mph. There was also a 2.2 mile long
tornado track within the severe wind area,
but aside from that track the vast majority
of damage was from a west to east or
northwest to southeast direction.
1127 PM Tornado 2 NNW Murdock 40.96N 96.30W
06/14/2022 Cass NE NWS Storm Survey
A tornado developed near Church Road west of
298th Street and immediately damaged a home.
One of the roof peaks was torn off and
garage doors blown in. The damage here was
very focused as nearby trees were not
damaged, but insulation from the home was
stuck to 3 different sides of the home,
indicating this was likely a tornado.
Farther east, there was an area of focused
tree damage approximately 150 yards wide
embedded within a several mile wide area of
more minor tree damage. The tornado
continued east where it snapped several
power poles and caused minor damage to a
church. Additional damage to grain bins and
trees was noted along Church road just west
of 322nd street, which appears to be the end
of the focused damage most likely caused by
the tornado. The tornado peak wind was
estimated at 100 mph with a path length of
2.2 miles and a maximum width of 150 yards.
This tornado occurred within a several mile
wide area of intense straight-line wind
damage which was caused by winds at times
greater than 80 mph.
