Weigand Park clean up progressing after tornado

One million dollars in damage, with $250,000 of the losses being uninsured, faces Nebraska Game & Parks Commission officials at the Weigand-Burbach Area of the Lewis & Clark State Recreation Area northwest of Crofton.
A tornado that came blasting in from the south in the late afternoon hours of May 5 ripped a huge hole in the middle of the park, doing extensive damage. The marina suffered considerable damage to both boats dock facilities, but many other areas of the park were equally damaged or destroyed.
“It was a lot of little things and they just kept adding up,” said Daryl Holmberg, park sunperintendet “You know, a roof here, a roof there. The tree damage was very extensive.”
