Titled:   Lack of tornados unusual for season

We are half way through the year and still no reports of tornados for Central Nebraska or North Central Kansas. That is according to the National Weather Service. This is the first time since 1950 that all 30 counties served by the National Weather Service office in Hastings has not had a confirmed tornado during the first 6 months of the year.

Those 30 counties stretch from Ord down to Plainville, Kansas as far west as Gothenburg and as far east as York.

From January to July, Central Nebraska and North Central Kansas usually report up to 30 tornadoes.
