The bow echo event on 5-6 July, 2003 represents a classic nocturnal bow echo that produced a damage swath nearly 200 km in length from Columbus, NE to western IA.  Extensive ground and aerial damage surveys by R. Wakimoto (UCLA) and N. Atkins (LSC) were performed a few days after the occurrence of this event.  Considerable damage was uncovered in Omaha, NE.  While smaller-scale areas of more intense F1 damage were uncovered in Omaha and to the northeast of town, there was no evidence that they were produced by embedded tornadoes.
