OMAHA, Neb. (AP) _ The National Weather Service says seven tornadoes struck eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa, but most caused little damage. Van DeWald, meteorologist with the service's Valley office, said six of Wednesday evening's tornadoes were ``touch and goes.'' The seventh hit a Boy Scout camp near Little Sioux, Iowa, killing four youths and injuring 50 other people at the camp. DeWald says four of the tornadoes were in Nebraska, near Louisville, Elkhorn, Greenwood and Jansen. The Weather Service says mostly clear weather is in the forecast for eastern Nebraska through Sunday. But flood warnings remain posted for eight southeast Nebraska counties.
