Tornado touching down less than a 1/2 mile from our location west of York, NE. The storm did miss the farm in this photo, but a few farms were hit and a train was derailed as it moved to the northeast.

I'm guessing around 10 miles before the road network and damage path prevented us from keeping up with it.

Thank you to everyone! After seeing the damage path of this Tornado, I now have more respect for the awesome power and damage these storms can and do inflict on peoples lives.

Luckily No injuries or deaths have been reported from this Tornado.
