A severe thunderstorm in the Nebraska Panhandle region spawned a tornado on July 2 on the outskirts of the village of Hemingford.

Hemingford resident Ryan Schledewitz captured footage of the tornado, while in a car with his family in the area, which is part of Box Butte County.

The awe of Schledewitz’s children as they witness the dramatic weather event is clear during the five-minute video.

The National Weather Service put in place a severe thunderstorm watch warning for areas of Nebraska as well as parts of neighboring states Kansas and Colorado on July 2, warning of potential hail, lightning, and wind speeds of up to 70 miles per hour.

Local media reported that the weather front also included “baseball size hail” close to Hemingford. Credit: Ryan Schledewitz via Storyful
