          Looking west at our supercell over Aurora, NE.

         Violent rotation observed as small needle funnels formed and rotated around the main area of rotation.  Some have reported a debris cloud with this but I haven't looked into those reports.

         Large hail (7-10 inches in diameter) fell over Aurora, NE from our storm.  Reports from all of the locals is that large 3 - 5 inch stones at times were rimed together causing craters as large as 13 inches in diameter.  Only the broken parts are considered for the official measured diameter.

                  Each yard only had a few craters, each had a deep impact and they had multiple sub-craters inside them suggesting multiple stones were fused while falling to the surface.  The surveyed yard, a perfect surface to measure hail crater impacts.
