I was at a plant sale in east Lincoln, NE this afternoon. There was a large storm cell looming in western Lincoln that we were keeping an eye on, until two tornadoes came from out of nowhere on the EAST side of the city. A third touched down shortly after. This was all less than 3 miles from the plant sale. Luckily we were able to safely shelter in place thanks to the quick thinking of the event staff. Ten years ago, Pilger NE famously got hit by twin tornadoes. At the time, I was living in Wayne, which is less than 20 miles from Pilger. So I have some experience with these things haha

[@taylorwickham]

I was in Crete, NE, at college when one of the tornadoes laid down. Haven't seen tornadoes like this for a while.
