The National Weather Service had received at least 60 reports of tornadoes in at least five states as of 9:30 p.m. ET, making today the busiest day for tornadoes in the U.S. in more than a year.
Mary Gilbert, Zoe Sottile, Sarah Dewberry, Jamiel Lynch, Raja Razek, Sharif Paget, Sara Tonks and Brandon Miller, CNNDevastating tornadoes tore across parts of eastern Nebraska and northeast Texas Friday as a multi-day severe thunderstorm event ramped up in the central U.S.
On Friday, a tornado roared through the outskirts of Lincoln, Nebraska, tearing the roofs off homes and crossing part of I-80 in the process. An overturned tractor-trailer, blown over by the storms, brought traffic to a slow crawl on the interstate, traffic cameras showed. Omaha's Eppley Airfield, the largest airport serving the region, was briefly closed Friday so officials could do a damage assessment, according to a post on X. The airport reopened around 6 p.m. local time after closing "due to storm activity", according to Tim Schmitt, Chief Operations Officer with Omaha Airport Authority. Some planes and hangars were damaged, he added.
Some of the same areas hit by storms Friday could be back in the path of storms Saturday, including southeastern Nebraska, southern Iowa, eastern Kansas, and northeastern Texas. In total, more than 50 million people are under the threat of severe weather Saturday. Damaging wind gusts, hail up to the size of baseballs and strong tornadoes - at least EF2-strength - are possible with any storm in the Level 3 of 5 risk area.
"A complex but potentially significant severe weather episode is expected on Saturday," the prediction center cautioned Friday. The tornado threat could ramp up considerably through the late afternoon and evening hours with "multiple strong tornadoes" possible, according to the prediction center.
