Sort of scary that this monster of a storm came within 5 miles of my apartment! I really wasn't planning on chasing 4 days in a row...but I couldn't pass this one up. Not too bad of a storm for being a non-chase day in Southeast Nebraska, but you must remember it was June 13th in the Lincoln area. 

This is the 3rd tornadic supercell I've seen in 4 years on June 13th within 50 miles of Lincoln.  

June 13th, 2000 - Tornado northwest of Syracuse, NE.
June 13th, 2001 - Tornado - Seward, NE
June 13th, 2004 - Tornado - northwest of Waverly, NE
