Summary of Severe Weather from June 11th in Fremont County.

Last Thursday, June 11th, Southeast Nebraska and Southwest Iowa experienced severe weather consisting of strong winds, flash flooding and tornados.

A brief tornado developed just east of the Missouri River at approximately 5:29 AM. The tornado produced minor tree damage as it tracked east towards Interstate 29. As the tornado reached Interstate 29, the tornado intensified. EF1 damage was produced at an unoccupied residence under construction, located along Western Ave with most of the roof lifted off this residence. The tornado then crossed Interstate 29 and produced tree damage along the interstate before dissipating at approximately 5:31 AM.

In total, 8 Tornados were confirmed across Southeast Nebraska and Southwest Iowa, featuring 2 EFU's and 6 EF1's.

Excessive rainfall fell across the county resulting in the closure of 240th Ave, which undermined the bridge structure. 240th Ave remains closed between Plumb Creek and 130th Street.

250th Street (Riverton Road) experienced a period of closure in the evening hours of Thursday 6/11 and was reopened by 7:30am Friday 6/12 due to water backing up onto the roadway from excessive rainfall in the Nishnabotna tributaries. When encountering water in the roadway; Turn Around, Don't Drown!
