0908 PM     Tornado          1 SE Holdrege           40.43N 99.36W
05/03/2024                   Phelps             NE   NWS Storm Survey

            This is an update to the initial Holdrege
            Tornado survey and results in the original
            track being split into two separate and
            distinct damage paths, which are now
            referred to as Holdrege North Tornado and
            Holdrege East Tornado. There are no changes
            to the EF-Scale rating with this update, as
            it remains an EF-1. The Holdrege East
            tornado touched down near the fairgrounds
            then moved north into the SE side of town.
            It appears the tornado briefly lifted as it
            moved north of 6th Ave, sparing
            neighborhoods in northeast Holdrege more
            significant damage, before touching back
            down in a field just northwest of the
            intersection of 18th Ave and Lincoln St. The
            tornado reached peak intensity and width
            near Lincoln St and 25th Ave just NE of
            Holdrege where significant damage to
            outbuildings, some newer and well-built, was
            noted. Damage also occurred to roofs of a
            few homes. The tornado would go on to
            overturn numerous pivots and snap a few more
            power poles as it curved northeast. Damage
            ceased near the intersection of Q Rd and 736
            Rd, which coincides with substantial
            weakening of the circulation on radar.
