The tornado caused significant damage in Pilger.
Stanton County Commissioner Jerry Weatherholt said the devastated town looked like a "war zone."
Weatherholt said the south half of the town was leveled, but almost all of it was damaged by the tornado.
"It was like God dragged two fingernails across the land," Gregg Moeller of Wisner told the Norfolk Daily News while describing the "unbelievable" damage caused by the tornadoes.
MAJOR damage here in Pilger, Nebraska need emergency personnel NOW!!
By 6 p.m. the town was filled with ambulances and fire trucks from across the region.
The twin tornadoes resembled those seen during the Palm Sunday outbreak of 1965 where 137 people were killed — the deadliest tornado outbreak in Indiana history.
