            A EF-2 tornado started in Greeley County and
            crossed into Boone County south of Primrose
            along Highway 56. It travelled
            north-northeast over 27.5 miles, doing its
            most extensive damage 2 miles southwest of
            Primrose. Strongest winds were estimated to
            be 130 mph, and at its widest it was
            estimated to be 500 yards wide. It likely
            dissipated in open country as it approached
            the Beaver Creek southwest of Petersburg.

0251 PM     Tornado          4 NW Bee                41.05N 97.11W
04/26/2024                   Butler             NE   NWS Storm Survey

            An EF-1 tornado began near the intersection
            of Highway 15 and Ashland Road moving
            north-northeast as a broad multiple-vortex
            tornado. It snapped trees and a road sign
            and overturned center-pivot irrigation
            systems along its path. Near its end, a
            second brief tornado developed 1 mile east
            of this tornado.

04/26/2024                   Lancaster          NE   NWS Storm Survey

            An EF-0 tornado tracked mainly through open
            fields, with time and location identified by
            a storm chaser video. The damage survey team
            did find evidence of some minor tree damage
            at a few locations sufficient to rate this
            as an EF-0 tornado.

0306 PM     Tornado          4 WSW Brainard          41.16N 97.07W
04/26/2024                   Butler             NE   NWS Storm Survey

            Trained spotters confirmed an EF-Unknown
            tornado with video and photos lasting
            approximately 1 minute over open fields. Due
            to no damage indicators hit, we have to rate
            it EF-Unknown.

            An EF-1 tornado tracked through mainly open

            farmstead that had a barn that was badly
            damaged and minor damage to a home.

            370th St and 175th Ave. It tracked
            north-northeast, flipping a center-pivot
            irrigation system, snapping trees, blowing
            windows out of a house, and causing
            significant damage to a barn roof. The
            tornado continued north causing additional
            minor damage before ending just southwest of
            160th Ave and 445th St.
