A pair of tornadoes damaged a handful of Nebraska homes and derailed at least 15 train cars last night, the AP reports. One person was rescued after being injured and trapped inside a house. In addition to the tornadoes in North Platte, another possible tornado hammered homes in northern Nebraska and South Dakota; yet another storm affected power lines in western Oklahoma. The weather will likely move east today, the National Weather Service says, and could hit eastern Nebraska and western Iowa; storms could reach south to Texas. (More tornado stories.)
