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.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeAs storms moved across Red Willow County, lightning struck a tree and a hay bale on fire near the intersection of County Roads 380 and 717 north of the town of Perry. The tree burned from the inside out and was extinguished by the Red Willow County Rural Fire Department. The hay bale fire was extinguished before the fire department responded since the farmer was able to break apart the bale before the fire spread.
