Storm Summary for Severe Weather Event 6/14/22 to 6/15/22

Tornadoes:

Tornado - 2 NNW Murdock, NE Cass County, NE Date 6/14/2022 Time (Local) 11:27 PM EF Rating EF-1 Est. Peak Winds 100 mph Path Length 2.2 miles Max Width 150 yards Injuries/Deaths 0/0 Summary: 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.  Track Map

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.

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.
