Less than eight hours after Friday night's severe weather passed through the heartland, clean-up began in eastern Nebraska. Just hours later, the region got hit again.
About six inches of rain poured into Wahoo Friday, topping creeks and flooding streets.

Nearby Surprise, Nebraska felt the worst of Friday's damage though, as a tornado ripped through grain bins and homes in the town of 44.
"They just said, 'mobile home was destroyed in Surprise,' and I knew right away it was ours because ours is the only mobile home here," said Surprise resident Rose Primus.
But Rose's mobile home, which she says looks like it exploded from the inside out, was not the only home ruined in Surprise.
Many residents are helpless, as they sit and stare in disbelief while their belongings are hauled away and piled up in nearby yards.
The sounds of chainsaws and clean-up crews continue moving through Surprise, but Dave Williams says the noise cannot compare to what woke him Friday night.
"Glass was breaking, windows were being blown out. I knocked over the tower that holds our siren, so there was no siren, there was no warning," Williams said.
Williams found his camper trailers destroyed and the roof of his pub in the street.
A complete estimate of Friday night's damage is not yet known, and it is possible that Saturday's severe weather could add to the tally.
