What happened
The episode as NWS BOU wrote it up.
Portions of the Northeast Plains were hammered by a variety of severe weather during the evening hours. Large hail, tornadoes, straight-line winds, heavy rain and flooding did extensive damage in Logan, Sedgwick and Phillips Counties. Several tornadoes reportedly touched down. A newly built home was struck 3 miles north of Crook, damaging nearly two thirds of the residence. Tornado touchdowns were also reported in and near Iliff. Several barns, crops, farm equipment, grain bins and fences were either damaged or destroyed. Approximately 80 power lines were downed near Crook along with several trees as large hail and damaging winds moved through the area. Some livestock was also injured. Flooding also developed as several creeks jumped their banks. A number of county roads were washed out. Some roadways were covered by as much as 4 feet of water in spots. An exact estimate of the damage throughout the tri-county areas was not available.
