The
tornado was in rural Fremont county several miles east of Riverton
or
about 20 miles east of Nebraska City, NE. As this tornado decayed
an even larger wall cloud
formed
to it's east-southeast. This second wall cloud was rotating
extremely rapidly and moved almost
due
east along J64 from Riverton to Coin to Shambaugh (Just south of Clarinda).
It produced several brief
(on
the order of seconds) multi vortex tornadoes that would dance around
and then vanish.
