Around dusk and into the evening hours of May 22, 2004, a massive, powerful and long-tracked F4 tornado tore across the southeastern portions of the U.S. state of Nebraska. The tornado, part of a multi-day severe weather sequence throughout late-May, damaged or destroyed many rural farmsteads and communities along its path, but its most destructive effect occurred within the village of Hallam, where nearly most of the community was severely damaged. The Hallam tornado is recognized by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as the second-largest tornado on record, peaking at 4,400 yards (2.5 mi; 4.0 km) wide, behind only the 2013 El Reno tornado. The tornado holds the record as the largest by size in Nebraska's history. Approximately 38 people were injured and one fatality occurred. The tornado caused $160 million (2004 USD) in damages along its 54 mi (87 km) path.
