Hailstorm In Nebraska Leaves 150-Mile Path Visible From Satellite

The trail from the extraordinary hailstorm that hit the Nebraska Panhandle on Monday was captured in satellite images of the Earth. From more than 22,000 miles above the Earth, the U.S. weather satellite GOES-East detected a thin line that contrasted with the surrounding landscape. The National Weather Service office in North Platte posted the satellite images on its Facebook page. Nathan Jurgensen, a meteorologist with the weather service in North Platte, said the damage trail was about 150 miles long and was probably about 5 miles wide or less.
