NEBRASKA - Flood and storm warnings have been issued for much of Nebraska as storms rumble across the state.

The National Weather Service said Wednesday that flooding is expected in several southeast Nebraska communities, including Beatrice and Pawnee City.

This footage comes to us from Scottsbluff, where heavy rains and high winds caused damage and there were similar scenes like this all over the state.

A wind gust of 69 miles per hour was reported near Thedford in north-central Nebraska and a gust of 62 miles per hour was recorded near Friend in southeast Nebraska.

The service says nearly 3 inches of rain was reported just west of Doniphan.

It's unclear whether anyone's been injured.
