Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeDuring the late afternoon and evening hours, discrete supercells developed along a boundary stretching across the Colorado border, Northwest Kansas, and extreme Southwest Nebraska. As storms moved across the Colorado border, they merged into a cluster of storms that produced up to a 62 mph wind gusts near the city of Benkelman. Once the storms moved into Red Willow County, lightning strikes caused four fires across the county that began within a thirty minute window. Two fires were structural with one home a total loss. The remaining fires consisted of a tree and a hay bale. Mutual aid was requested, with a total of four fire departments battling the fires over a five hour duration.
