The four tornadoes spotted last weekend in western Nebraska's Lincoln County have been given the weakest rating.

The four tornadoes were spotted in open spots around the county on Saturday and did no damage.
A twister that touched down Saturday evening near Anselmo in Custer County also was rated EF0.
Overall, about 75 tornadoes touched down in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Oklahoma on Saturday and Sunday. Most struck in Kansas.
