BROCK - Hailstones covered a mile-wide section of Nemaha County Tuesday, including Coryell Park.

Ann Epler of Brock was caught in the storm in her van.

Epler: “Storm came up. It just brewed like crazy. As you can see there’s a ton of hail and I feel sorry for the farmers – all the crops damaged or gone – “

Where you driving in the hail?

Yeah, driving in the hail. I’m surprised I don’t see that many dents on the van.”

Epler: “Oh yea, we’re stuck. It’s planed out. She won’t go. She’ll go a little bit, but I don’t know.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kaleb Bruggeman said the hail fell for about 10 minutes at Coryell Park, cracking windshields and dimpling cars.

 

A normal waterway was blocked with ice, so water and ice flowed in new directions, leaving a ridge of ice over a foot deep.
