72dBZ on the radar

This current storm (with a tornado warning) in NE shows 72dBZ on the radar, thats the strongest echo I've seen this season :shock:

Nebraska N -- that's my old stomping grounds.

Did you ever hear the specs on that specific tornado warning? Did it touch down? What was its magnitude?

I've seen DBz's in the mid 70's a few times this year over the plains states.

No, oddly enough, for the size of that echo - I never heard a thing about it
