An empty coal train was thrown off its tracks in Ashby, Nebraska, during a Tornado Warning on Sunday. Footage from Alyssa James shows dark storm clouds looming over Nebraska State Highway 2.

Sunday was a busy day for twisters in the Cornhusker State, with at least 10 reports. One supercell thunderstorm even tracked for over 75 miles, spawning tornadoes.  If that wasn’t enough, there were also reports of some seriously large hail – we’re talking “apple”-sized.

The FOX Forecast Center said more supercell thunderstorms are forecast for Monday. They could pack a punch with very large hail, damaging winds and strong tornadoes. The greatest risk for intense, long-lasting tornadoes extends into the evening. 

A significant portion of the country, over 45 million people spanning from Texas to the Upper Midwest, is under the threat of severe weather.
