This is the third and longest tracked of 5 cyclic tornadoes that a low-topped supercell thunderstorm produced at it tracked southeast through east of the Lincoln area. This tornado touched down around 2.5 miles west of Bennet, in Lancaster county, tracked northeast clipping the far northwest corner of Otoe county and then lifted around 1.5 miles into the southwest corner of Cass county. In Cass county the tornado destroyed a garage and tossed the debris into a occupied car injuring 5 people. Other tree and farm outbuilding damage was noted. The total path length was around 11 miles.
This is the fourth of 5 cyclic tornadoes that a low-topped supercell thunderstorm produced at it tracked southeast through east of the Lincoln area. This tornado touched down on the southwest side of Eagle and caused tree and some building damage along its path before lifting around 1 mile south of Alvo. Three people sustained minor injures near Alvo when a tree fell onto a truck they were in.
Trees were uprooted along highway 34 from Eagle to Nehawka by thunderstorm winds estimated at 55 to 60 mph. As was the case with the storms causing the damage in the Lincoln area, the winds were outflow from storms 20 to 30 miles to the south.
