Tornadoes, Rain and Hail Pummel Region
From Times Wire Services
Tornadoes, up to a foot of rain and hail as big as cantaloupes pounded southern Nebraska and northern Kansas, killing one man and leveling at least four homes.
Residents were stranded by flooding and hundreds of homes and businesses were damaged.
Much of Deshler, where four tornadoes hit Sunday, remained without electricity and water Monday, and phone circuits were overloaded. Gov. Mike Johanns toured Deshler and declared Thayer County a disaster area.
