At least one large tornado has reportedly caused considerable damage just outside the town of Aurora, Nebraska. Details are still coming in, but at roughly 9:00 PM, the tornado apparently intensified very rapidly and has caused damage to the west side of Aurora along HWY 34. Several chasers were along that stretch of road at the time, and their accounts and footage will be available soon. There are also reports of damage coming from the Iowa-Minnesota border region.

June 17 was jam-packed with severe weather, from the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains and the Black Hills of South Dakota all the way to the Appalachians and the Carolinas! Earlier this evening, Verne Carlson encountered baseball-sized hail in northeast Colorado; later, The Warmsector streamed a tornado between Grand Island and Aurora, NE. This tornado was from the same supercell that produced the tornado that hit Aurora. We will update more on the days events as soon as possible!
