            At approximately 6:55 PM CDT on Thursday, 
            April 17, a tornado developed near Highway 
            133, and appeared to produce first damage by 
            snapping limbs in an area of trees. The 
            tornado moved to the east, impacting trees, 
            homes, and destroying a garage near 108th 
            Street. It damaged trees along Little 
            Papillion Creek and then impacted a home and 
            large garage near 84th Street, south of 
            Dutch Hall Road. This was the point along 
            the tornado track where the most intense 
            damage was observed, as a well-built 
            all-brick home was destroyed with only some 
            walls still standing. Tree damage near the 
            site, as well as the destruction of a large, 
            well-built garage, supported the estimate of 
            high-end EF-2 to low-end EF-3 damage at this 
            location. The tornado proceeded to destroy 
            another large shed, and remove the roof from 
            a brick home a half mile to the east. It 
            then destroyed a very large garage-type 
            building in-between two homes at 78th Street 
            south of Dutch Hall Road. The tornado passed 
            directly between the homes, causing 
            extensive tree damage, lifting and moving a 
            full-size pickup truck approximately 30 
            yards, and throwing large trees nearly a 
            quarter of a mile downstream. The tornado 
            weakened slightly but damaged several 
            outbuildings and trees near 72nd Street. At 
            that point, it began to move more 
            northeasterly, snapping several trees and 
            flipping recreational vehicles at Nashville, 
            NE. It directly impacted another home, 
            destroying two outbuildings and causing tree 
            damage near Country Road P38. The tornado 
            impacted one more home and destroyed another 
            outbuilding near Country Road P51 before 
            dissipating in an open field at 
            approximately 7:15 PM CDT. The tornado is an 
            EF-3 with estimated maximum wind speeds 
            based on damage of 140 mph. The maximum 
            track width was approximately 170 yards and 
            the track length approximately 8.3 miles.

            Approximately 8:13 pm CDT on Thursday, April 
            17, 2025, a tornado formed 3 miles southwest 
            of Tabor. The tornado stirred up copious 
            amounts of dust and dirt from recently 
            plowed agricultural field. The tornado moved 
            southeast across mainly agricultural fields 
            until cross U.S. 275, producing EF-0 damage 
            to roofs and farm outbuildings just south of 
            130th Street, reaching a width of about 1/4 
            mile. Based on video, the tornado weakened 
            briefly east of U.S. 275 until it crossed 
            280th Avenue, where it again reached a width 
            of about 1/4 mile and strengthened again 
            before crossing 290th Avenue, producing EF-0 
            damage to trees and flipping irrigation 
            pivots. The tornado continued until about 
            the intersection of 300th Avenue and 140th 
            Street where it dissipated at approximately 
            8:28 pm CDT.

            At approximately 8:32 PM CDT, a tornado 
            formed southeast of Randolph, IA. The first 
            sign of damage was snapped tree limbs near 
            Lake Shawtee. As the tornado progressed 
            eastward, continued tree damage was observed 
            along with the damage of small outdoor farm 
            buildings and house roofs. A concentrated 
            area of the most extensive damage was 
            observed south of Imogene, IA. In this area, 
            damage included snapped wooden power poles, 
            minor damage to homes, and the continued 
            damage of outdoor buildings and trees. The 
            width of damage also reached its peak, 
            approximately 3130.6 yards in this area. The 
            tornado tracked just north of Essex, IA, 
            with more wooden power poles snapped and 
            farm outdoor building damage. After sliding 
            north of Essex, IA, the tornado tracked 
            northeast towards Nyman, IA. Similar damage, 
            including trees, outdoor buildings, and 
            wooden power poles were observed along this 
            stretch. The tornado lifted just east at 
            Nyman, IA at approximately 9:08 PM CDT. The 
            track length of the tornado was 
            approximately 19.7 miles, with a maximum 
            wind speed of 110 mph classifying it as an 
            EF1.
