On the evening of May 18, 2026, a line of severe thunderstorms rolled through Nemaha County and produced two confirmed tornadoes within minutes of each other. The first, an EF0, developed just south of Highway 136 and west of 636 Avenue near Auburn, then tracked east-northeast toward Highway 136 east of 637 Avenue. A second, rain-wrapped EF0 was caught on broadcast video as it moved east just south of Road 733A and Highway 75 near Julian — only about five miles from the first.
The same storms hammered the area with straight-line winds and large hail. A weather station just outside Auburn clocked gusts to roughly 71 mph, and golf ball-sized 1.75" hail was reported north of town. Days earlier in the same stretch of unsettled weather, severe winds near Peru topped 68 mph.
For Auburn homeowners, May 18 was the headline but not the whole story. Half-dollar 1.25" hail had already fallen right in town on April 23, 2026, and gusty storms returned again in early June — three separate rounds beating on the same roofs in a single spring. That kind of repetition is what does the lasting damage, even when nothing looks wrong from the curb. Because Southeast Seamless works in Nemaha County year-round, we know which streets caught the worst of each round, and a free, documented inspection is the simplest way to find out where your home stands before a claim deadline slips past.

Not every storm is worth a claim. As a rule of thumb, it's worth having us take a look if all three of these are true:
Here's where the Nemaha County, NE storm caused the most damage. If you're in or near one of these towns, get your roof checked.
EF0 tornado touched down roughly 3 miles south of town near Highway 136, with winds near 71 mph. Half-dollar 1.25" hail also fell in town on April 23, 2026.
Auburn storm helpA second, rain-wrapped EF0 tornado moved east near Highway 75, and golf ball-sized 1.75" hail was reported just north of Auburn toward Julian.
Severe winds gusted to about 68 mph during the May 18 storms.
Communities along the Highway 136 and Missouri River corridor sat in the path of the same storm cells and saw severe wind and hail.
Severe weather rarely respects town lines. Southeast Seamless inspects and repairs storm damage across these nearby communities, too.
Storm damage often hides until the next heavy rain. Here's what to check after a hail or wind event — or let us do it for you, free.
In Nebraska you typically have a limited window — often one to two years from the date of the storm — to file a hail or wind damage claim. Document damage early, before the deadline and before the next heavy rain turns a hidden bruise into an interior leak.
Yes. On May 18, 2026, an EF0 tornado touched down about three miles south of Auburn near Highway 136, and a second EF0 was confirmed near Julian the same evening. Both arrived with roughly 70 mph winds and golf ball-sized hail.
Golf ball-sized hail (1.75") was reported north of Auburn on May 18, 2026, and half-dollar hail (1.25") fell in town on April 23, 2026. Hail in that range commonly leaves bruised shingles, pockmarked gutters and AC fins, and cracked siding — damage that's easy to miss without climbing up for a close look.
Nebraska homeowners generally have a limited time — typically one to two years from the storm date, depending on your policy — to file for hail or wind damage. With Auburn hit in April, May, and June 2026, it's worth pinning down which storm caused what before any deadline passes, and we can document the damage and help you sort out the timeline at no charge.
We do. Southeast Seamless works in Nemaha County year-round, so an Auburn inspection is usually a short trip for us rather than a wait for you. There's no cost and no pressure — just a thorough look at your roof, gutters, and siding, plus documentation for your insurer if we turn up damage. Call (402) 265-3017 to set it up.
