Meteorologist Mike Fuhs  in the service’s Sioux Falls, S.D., office says damage assessment crews were touring the area Saturday morning to determine exactly how many tornadoes there were. No deaths have been reported, although minor injuries occurred in Nebraska.

Fuhs says preliminary reports show two tornadoes in northeast Nebraska around 6 p.m. Friday, including one that left a path of destruction near Wayne and Macy, and one just five miles north of Emerson.

In Iowa, Fuhs says it appears there were tornadoes north and south of Sioux City, as well as those west and north of Hinton, east of Moville, at Quimby and one south of Cherokee.   Photos courtesy of the Iowa Storm Chasing Network
