Amazing weather last night

Beginning around 10 last night, a severe storm hit Scottsbluff and Banner Counties. For about an hour the storm pounded Gering. It finally let up. Nate had 3 inches of standing water in his garage!

The winds topped 65 mph and did some heavy damage. The City of Gering called out the Fire Department, Electrical Deptartment, Police Department, and Street Department last night. They were basically out all night and still working hard right now. The street department worked on removing all of the trees that fell into the streets, while the electric department worked on several downed power poles & lines. It was just crazy!!

Some photos I shot about an hour ago...










Luckily nobody was hurt and the City of Gering personnel is working hard clean up the damage. I feel for everyone that has damage on their property. Hopefully everything can be cleaned up and taken care of right away.
