Tornado Touches Down in Eagle, Injures Five
Several tornadoes touched down in Nebraska Monday evening. Tornadoes touched down near Eagle, Alvo and Schramm Park after 5pm. The small town of Eagle is recovering after an apparent tornado touched down just before five Monday evening. Robert DuBusk says he saw it coming just in time.
"I look out here and our shed was gone and I thought, 'Oh my gosh.' So we ran downstairs. It was really loud then," he says. When he and his stepdaughter came up from the basement, his garage was gone. But he found it. One hundred yards away where it collided with a car filled with passengers.
"They were pretty shaken up. One guy was really hurt and an ambulance came and took him," says DuBusk Eagle Fire officials say the car's five occupants are expected to be okay. About a mile north of where that happened, Sue Peterson looks at what's left of her Grand Prix car. "I have no car," she says.
She and her husband Neal rushed into their basement after looking outside. "We both ran downstairs, and just the pressure in our ears and the loud noise. We just covered our heads and stayed down," she says. Sue says for a lifelong Nebraskan, her first tornado experience was one too many. "It's the scariest thing I've ever gone through. It's terrifying." At least ten to fifteen additional homes in the Eagle also suffered extensive roof and siding damage.
National Weather Service crews are expected in the Eagle area Tuesday to survey the damage. The National Weather Service has also confirmed a tornado in the Gretna area, which is along Interstate 80 about 14 miles southwest of Omaha. The service says it was spotted about 5:20 p.m. Monday. It was not immediately known whether it caused any damage.
Earlier in the day, the weather service reported two tornadoes briefly touched down in north-central Nebraska. The Lincoln Journal Star is also reporting several tornadoes to the east of Lincoln, mostly damaging barns and sheds.

Tornado hits western Iowa house
A tornado in Missouri Valley has struck a house, causing major damage, but no one was home at the time. The Harrison County Emergency Management Agency says the house sustained damage, but no one was injured in the storm, which blew in from Nebraska.
Kim Crispin, public information officer for the agency, says all the house's occupants have been accounted for. Crispin says some unoccupied farm buildings near Missouri Valley were also damaged. The Harrison County sheriff's office says it has received reports of damage throughout the county.
Crispin says a Union Pacific train with 54 empty grain cars derailed west of Missouri Valley, but did not know if anyone was injured.
