Hurricane force winds . . . tornados . . . prairie fires . . . all part of December in the Midwest ? ? ? A major storm for Nebraska on Wednesday, Dec. 15 may be long remembered, but area residents consider themselves lucky as property damage was not wide spread. The South Central Public Power District lost a total of 22 poles in its distribution system. They were widespread across their system with the majority of them being in the Nuckolls and Webster county area. The wind damage to one such power pole is shown in this picture.
