Strong tornadoes are forecast across five states this weekend, the National Weather Service said Saturday, following a string of tornadoes and severe weather that tore through the Midwest on Friday, destroying homes and businesses in Nebraska and Iowa. Severe, damaging storms are also expected Sunday from Texas to Wisconsin, though the strength of those storms will likely be affected by the severity of Saturday’s weather, the National Weather Service said. Some tornadoes are possible from northeastern Texas to southern Iowa, with heavy rainfall and possible flooding expected in the Mississippi Valley.100. That’s how many tornadoes were reported to the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center on Friday. Tornadoes were confirmed across eastern Nebraska and Oklahoma, western Iowa and Missouri and northeastern Texas. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen issued emergency proclamations Friday, after tornadoes destroyed homes across both states, with parts of the Omaha area sustaining heavy damage. Pottawattamie County, Iowa, officials said about 120 homes and businesses were destroyed after a tornado tore through Minden—just east of Omaha—as four people suffered storm-related injuries. Two people in Omaha suffered minor injuries after a tornado moved through the Elkhorn neighborhood, local police said, in addition to significant property damage in Shelby and Douglas counties.
