|A large |
|A large [[multiple-vortex tornado]], the first EF4 tornado in Nebraska since [[2004 Hallam tornado|May 22, 2004]], caused substantial damage along its path. Two farmsteads were struck southwest of Wayne, and many sheds and barns were either damaged or destroyed. Two homes in this area sustained EF3-strength damage as well. The tornado moved into the east side of Wayne, causing severe damage to a softball complex, damaging farm equipment at a dealership, and either damaging or completely destroying many large industrial metal buildings at an industrial park, some of which were either badly mangled or completely reduced to rubble. At this point, the tornado had reached its peak intensity, with widespread EF3 damage, and a few pockets of low-end EF4-strength damage were noted. It then directly hit the Wayne Municipal Airport, where two hangars were flattened, leading to the destruction of 15 planes, and the [[AWOS]] was shredded and scattered over unknown distances. The tornado then caused EF2 damage to another farmstead before crossing into Dixon County, where it narrowed, weakened, and eventually dissipated after causing roof, window, and siding damage to a few more houses, overturning a camper, and either heavily damaging or destroying a grain bin and numerous farm buildings, as well as farm equipment. Many trees were downed, and crops were flattened along the path. Fifteen people were injured by the tornado including John Dunning, Chief Information Officer of [[Wayne State College]], who was critically injured, but has since recovered. He would have likely died had he stayed in his truck. This tornado caused $50.5 million, mainly in Wayne.<ref name="wayne">{{cite report|title=Nebraska Event Report: EF4 Tornado|url=http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/eventdetails.jsp?id=472670|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|work=National Climatic Data Center|year=2014|access-date=January 18, 2014}}</ref><ref name="dixon">{{cite report|title=Nebraska Event Report: EF2 Tornado|url=http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/eventdetails.jsp?id=476178|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|work=National Climatic Data Center|year=2014|access-date=January 18, 2014}}</ref><ref>[https://www.tornadotalk.com/wayne-ne-ef4-tornado-october-4-2013/ Wayne, NE EF4 Tornado – October 4, 2013], TornadoTalk</ref> This became the first F4/EF4 tornado in October in the US since the [[Windsor Locks, Connecticut tornado]] of 1979, and the first tornado in Nebraska in October since 2001.<ref>[https://weather.com/storms/tornado/news/tornadoes-nebraska-iowa-october-recap-20131005 Recap: October Tornadoes Hammer Northeast Nebraska, Northwest Iowa], The Weather Channel, October 31, 2013</ref> |

|This intense tornado touched down just inside Antelope County (to the south-southeast of Creighton) before moving north and into Knox County, where it dissipated {{convert|4|mi|km|}} north of Creighton. It was initially weak with damage confined to irrigation systems, siding, and shingles. The tornado then strengthened and completely destroyed a building that housed [[Grumman S-2 Tracker|antique trackers]] (scattering rubble for the equivalent of three city blocks) before hitting the [[Creighton Municipal Airport]], where several buildings were either heavily damaged or destroyed, including three hangars receiving roof, garage, and siding damage and a storage building losing its roof. The [[Aerodrome beacon|airport beacon]] was blown away as well. The tornado then took a track to the northwest, where a 10,000-bushel grain bin was completely destroyed, and five more irrigation systems where destroyed. Many trees were downed, and power poles snapped at their base as well.<ref>{{cite report|title=Nebraska Event Report: EF3 Tornado|url=http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/eventdetails.jsp?id=473017|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|work=National Climatic Data Center|year=2014|access-date=January 18, 2014}}</ref> |

|This long-tracked, strong tornado began southwest of Macy before moving through the town. Six homes in the town were either heavily damaged or destroyed, while twelve more homes and one business sustained minor damage. Numerous vehicles, a center pivot irrigation system, and several buildings at farmsteads were damaged as well. The tornado crossed the [[Missouri River]] into Iowa west-northwest of [[Whiting, Iowa|Whiting]] and continued north-northeastward to the west of [[Sloan, Iowa|Sloan]], where it spawned the EF1 [[satellite tornado]] listed below. Two buildings were destroyed southeast of [[Salix, Iowa|Salix]] and open-air buildings were severely damaged at a dairy farm east of Salix. Other homes and buildings were either severely damaged or destroyed between Salix and Bronson before the tornado lifted just east of Bronson. Many trees and four power poles were downed, and corn crops were flattened along the path. Two people were injured, both in Thurston County.<ref>{{cite report|title=Nebraska Event Report: EF2 Tornado|url=http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/eventdetails.jsp?id=472671|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|work=National Climatic Data Center|year=2014|access-date=January 18, 2014}}{{cite report|title=Iowa Event Report: EF2 Tornado|url=http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/eventdetails.jsp?id=472996|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|work=National Climatic Data Center|year=2014|access-date=January 18, 2014}}{{cite report|title=Iowa Event Report: EF2 Tornado|url=http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/eventdetails.jsp?id=476180|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|work=National Climatic Data Center|year=2014|access-date=January 18, 2014}}</ref> |

A massive blizzard and tornado outbreak that affected the Northwest, Rockies, and much of the Midwest in early-October 2013. A total of 22 tornadoes were confirmed as the system moved eastward across the eastern half of the United States, including two that were rated EF4. The storm was unofficially named Winter Storm AtlasbyThe Weather Channel.[5]
On October 3, 2013, the National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for Rapid City and the Black Hills in advance of the storm urging people to delay or cancel travel plans.[6]
Heavy snowfall trapped over six dozen people inside of their automobiles and tornadoes injured 17 people in Iowa and Nebraska.[7][8] Rapid City, the second largest city in South Dakota, was engulfed in close to two feet of snow, which exceeds the amount of snow that the city has ever recorded during any whole month of October.[9] Furthermore, on October 4, 2013, the city received over 19 inches (48 cm) of snow, which exceeded the previous one day record in October by more than 6 inches (15 cm).[10] Over 20,000 people lost electricity in Black Hills, where more than a meter of watered down, dense snow had fallen. The storm system also included thunderstorms that brought iced precipitation, significant rain and over half a dozen tornadoes to Nebraska and Iowa.[8][11] Two of these tornadoes were violent enough to be rated EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita scale. Over 200 miles (320 km) of Interstate 90 was shut down from South Dakota to Wyoming.[12]
The storm affected about 5,000 ranches in western South Dakota producing snow totals as high as 5 feet (1.5 m) and 70 mph (110 km/h) winds that scattered herds for miles and resulted in the deaths of many cattle due to exhaustion and hypothermia.[13] In a storm South Dakotans called the Cattleman's Blizzard, at least 14,000 cattle, 1300 sheep, 300 horses, and 40 bison were killed with South Dakota ranchers reporting losses of 20 to 50 percent of their herds.[14][15][16] Thousands of people were without power.[17] Three people died in a motor vehicle accident on US 20.[18]
The storm coincided with the United States federal government shutdown of 2013, which limited timely federal response to the disaster.[13]

EF0 | E of Madison | Stanton | NE | 41°52′06″N 97°20′06″W / 41.8682°N 97.3351°W / 41.8682; -97.3351 (Madison (Oct. 4, EF0)) | 2132 – 2142 | 4.71 mi (7.58 km) | 100 yd (91 m) | No damage was reported with this tornado as it moved through rural areas southwest of Stanton.[21] |
EF2 | E of Royal | Antelope | NE | 42°14′46″N 98°05′31″W / 42.246°N 98.092°W / 42.246; -98.092 (Royal (Oct. 4, EF2)) | 2148 – 2201 | 6.64 mi (10.69 km) | 264 yd (241 m) | A strong tornado touched down south-southeast of Royal and ended just to the east-northeast of town. Several farmsteads were damaged (with outbuildings being the primary structures impacted) and numerous trees and power lines were downed.[22] |
EF4 | SW of Wayne to NNW of Wakefield | Wayne, Dixon | NE | 42°07′41″N 97°04′37″W / 42.128°N 97.077°W / 42.128; -97.077 (Wayne (Oct. 4, EF4)) | 2212 – 2253 | 18.34 mi (29.52 km) | 2,394 yd (2,189 m) | A large multiple-vortex tornado, the first EF4 tornado in Nebraska since May 22, 2004, caused substantial damage along its path. Two farmsteads were struck southwest of Wayne, and many sheds and barns were either damaged or destroyed. Two homes in this area sustained EF3-strength damage as well. The tornado moved into the east side of Wayne, causing severe damage to a softball complex, damaging farm equipment at a dealership, and either damaging or completely destroying many large industrial metal buildings at an industrial park, some of which were either badly mangled or completely reduced to rubble. At this point, the tornado had reached its peak intensity, with widespread EF3 damage, and a few pockets of low-end EF4-strength damage were noted. It then directly hit the Wayne Municipal Airport, where two hangars were flattened, leading to the destruction of 15 planes, and the AWOS was shredded and scattered over unknown distances. The tornado then caused EF2 damage to another farmstead before crossing into Dixon County, where it narrowed, weakened, and eventually dissipated after causing roof, window, and siding damage to a few more houses, overturning a camper, and either heavily damaging or destroying a grain bin and numerous farm buildings, as well as farm equipment. Many trees were downed, and crops were flattened along the path. Fifteen people were injured by the tornado including John Dunning, Chief Information Officer of Wayne State College, who was critically injured, but has since recovered. He would have likely died had he stayed in his truck. This tornado caused $50.5 million, mainly in Wayne.[23][24][25] This became the first F4/EF4 tornado in October in the US since the Windsor Locks, Connecticut tornado of 1979, and the first tornado in Nebraska in October since 2001.[26] |
EF3 | SSE of Creighton to N of Bazile Mills | Antelope, Knox | NE | 42°26′02″N 97°52′54″W / 42.4339°N 97.8817°W / 42.4339; -97.8817 (Creighton (Oct. 4, EF3)) | 2220 – 2236 | 6.43 mi (10.35 km) | 590 yd (540 m) | This intense tornado touched down just inside Antelope County (to the south-southeast of Creighton) before moving north and into Knox County, where it dissipated 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Creighton. It was initially weak with damage confined to irrigation systems, siding, and shingles. The tornado then strengthened and completely destroyed a building that housed antique trackers (scattering rubble for the equivalent of three city blocks) before hitting the Creighton Municipal Airport, where several buildings were either heavily damaged or destroyed, including three hangars receiving roof, garage, and siding damage and a storage building losing its roof. The airport beacon was blown away as well. The tornado then took a track to the northwest, where a 10,000-bushel grain bin was completely destroyed, and five more irrigation systems where destroyed. Many trees were downed, and power poles snapped at their base as well.[27] |
EF2 | SW of Macy, NE to E of Bronson, IA | Thurston (NE), Monona (IA), Woodbury (IA) | NE, IA | 42°04′50″N 96°23′10″W / 42.0805°N 96.3861°W / 42.0805; -96.3861 (Macy (Oct. 4, EF2)) | 2255 – 2347 | 26.56 mi (42.74 km) | 264 yd (241 m) | This long-tracked, strong tornado began southwest of Macy before moving through the town. Six homes in the town were either heavily damaged or destroyed, while twelve more homes and one business sustained minor damage. Numerous vehicles, a center pivot irrigation system, and several buildings at farmsteads were damaged as well. The tornado crossed the Missouri River into Iowa west-northwest of Whiting and continued north-northeastward to the west of Sloan, where it spawned the EF1 satellite tornado listed below. Two buildings were destroyed southeast of Salix and open-air buildings were severely damaged at a dairy farm east of Salix. Other homes and buildings were either severely damaged or destroyed between Salix and Bronson before the tornado lifted just east of Bronson. Many trees and four power poles were downed, and corn crops were flattened along the path. Two people were injured, both in Thurston County.[28] |
EF0 | ESE of Allen | Dixon | NE | 42°23′39″N 96°44′01″W / 42.3941°N 96.7337°W / 42.3941; -96.7337 (Allen (Oct. 4, EF0)) | 2259 – 2301 | 0.68 mi (1.09 km) | 50 yd (46 m) | A brief tornado caused no damage.[29] |

It then damaged homes, overturned an irrigation system, and downed many trees in a subdivision west of McCook Lake before dissipating. One of the homes had a collapsed chimney, carport, porch roof, and walls of a garage, and at least four other houses had roof, siding, and/or gutter damage.[31] |
EF1 | NE of Jefferson, SD | Union (SD), Plymouth (IA) | SD, IA | 42°34′12″N 96°33′22″W / 42.570°N 96.5562°W / 42.570; -96.5562 (Jefferson (Oct. 4, EF1)) | 2335 – 2345 | 6.47 mi (10.41 km) | 800 yd (730 m) | This tornado touched down south of Jefferson just after the previous tornado lifted, damaging a feedlot before crossing I-29.
