    Yeah got a little harry there for a while, but NW Lincoln only ended up with some good rain up to marble sized hail and a quick breeze.  System blew through pretty quick.

    We wound up with heavy rain and a VERY impressive lightning display here in Omaha, but fortunately the winds weren't too bad.  We got lucky (well, except for the rain, which we really could have done without).
