Severe weather unfolding across portions of the northern Plains have spawned multiple tornadoes across Nebraska.
The Lincoln Journal Star is reporting catastrophic damage to the town of Pilger, Nebraska according to reports from the scene. One fatality from twin tornadoes that touched down in Nebraska, USA Today reports. According to the report, 15 more have been critically injured and are in care at Faith Regional Medical Center in Norfolk, Nebraska.
"Severe weather will persist over the next few hours, and the area of greatest concern lies over northeastern Iowa, far southeastern Minnesota, and southwestern Wisconsin," AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Randy Adkins said. "Damaging winds will be the greatest threat with this squall line, but an embedded tornado cannot be ruled out."
The severe weather threat will not end today however, as severe storms are expected to continue to fire up across the Ohio Valley this week.
