(May 29, 2008 News Rlease) Gov. Dave Heineman and Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy toured the central Nebraska communities of Kearney and Aurora today following severe weather that unleashed numerous tornados in several Midwestern states last night.

Gov. Heineman said, “I commend everyone with the city of Kearney and Buffalo County. Their response has been extraordinary. There is still a lot of clean up in the days ahead but I’m confident from what I’ve seen today that we have the situation well in hand.”
