Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman has asked the federal government for help repairing storm and tornado damage in 13 counties.

The request for federal aid includes funding for repairs to roads, bridges, power lines, public buildings and debris removal.

The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency estimates there was $4 million in damages, primarily to roads and other public infrastructure.

There were tornadoes, high winds, hail and above-average rainfall in many areas of the state throughout the month.

The 13 counties included are: Arthur, Box Butte, Cherry, Garden, Morrill, Scotts Bluff, Custer, Keya Paha, Hamilton, Rock, Dixon, Pawnee and Richardson.
