Meteorologists say the tornadoes that touched down were about a mile apart, near the towns of Stanton and Pilger, 100 miles northwest of Omaha. The tornadoes did not hit Stanton, but caused extensive damage in Pilger and some rural areas around that town of about 350. Injuries have also been reported, including the death of a 5 year old.
