8/9/2011 Western Nebraska Hail and Landspout Tornado

An outbreak of severe weather across the high plains prompts severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings from Wyoming into Kansas where over 200 severe weather reports were generated. In this video package by BNVN Weather Paparazzi Tony Laubach, it shows a discrete supercell that formed on the Wyoming side of the Wyoming and Nebraska border. This storm system tracked over 300 miles and generated hail up to baseball size as well as several weak tornadoes. It moved across four states with it starting out in Wyoming and then moving into the Nebraska Panhandle, clipping northeast Colorado, back into Nebraska and finally ending up moving into Kansas. Video opens up with footage in Hitchcock County, Nebraska right along the KS/NE border as hail up to golfball size was falling in front of the Welcome to Nebraska state sign on State Highway 25 about 15 miles south of Trenton.
