Severe storms pound areas of the Western Corn Belt, again

Severe storms tore across parts of the West Corn Belt Tuesday night destroying crops and farmland.  

South Central Nebraska farmer Randy Uhrmacher tells Brownfield medium-sized hail and 70 mile-per-hour wind gusts brought widespread damage. “It pretty much just leveled a lot of the fields at the ground.  Anything at the  ground got completely chewed off and it’s down to bare ground.”

He says there isn’t much damage to buildings, but the wind took a toll on pivots.
