Uehling, NE Suffers Extensive Damage in Storm

June 4, 2014 Leave a comment


Strong winds ripped through Uehling and Craig causing much damage. It is not clear if a tornado was responsible or very strong winds. Uehling’s damage was unusual as the damage was on different parts of homes, indicating the wind could have been blowing in many directions. Hail damage was in excess, trees were down and some were even stripped of their leaves, leaving sidewalks and streets full of leaves. Windows were broken, shingles were in pieces all over sidewalks. Both communities are cleaning up today. Fortunately, there weren’t any injuries.
