Scottsbluff, Nebraska - It may take up to a week to repair some roads in western Nebraska that were damaged by torrential rain and large hail.

Officials say the area of western Nebraska was hit by severe weather Saturday, with hail nearly 2-inches in diameter damaging vehicles and siding on homes and other buildings.

Scotts Bluff County Director of Public Works Bob Bennett tells KNEB in Scottsbluff it will take a week to get some roads in his county back in shape. Some roads in the western part of the county remained closed Tuesday.

Lyman city officials say high winds knocked down some trees and basements were flooded by the heavy rain. Several roads in Banner County also were flooded and a number of roads were washed out near Torrington in Goshen County.
