What happened

The episode as NWS GID wrote it up.

Thunderstorms developed rapidly during the afternoon along a cold front slicing across south-central Nebraska. Most of the activity was east of Highway 281 with one tornado being reported. The tornado occurred about 10 miles southwest of Fullerton near the north banks of the Loup River. The tornado damaged trees and some irrigation pipe along its one mile path. As the thunderstorms moved southeast, high winds became the main storm threat. In the Edgar area, two grain bins were damaged and numerous tree limbs were broken. Power was interrupted for a short time to customers in Clay, Nuckolls and Fillmore counties. Tree limbs were damaged or broken in several communities
