Nebraska Trnadoes 1919
Near the town of Elmwood, midway between Lincoln and Omaha, two farm houses were partly wrecked and one completely demolished. Outbuildings on two of these farms were blown away. At the farm of George Lenz, which was totally wrecked, Mrs. Lenz was carried 200 feet in the air and deposited in the orchard, but escaped with slight injuries. Some livestock was killed at this place, and wheat fields were badly damaged by a fall of hail which followed the wind.
