Why did the eastern end of the Pacific Railroad start in Nebraska if trains could travel from the east coast to the west coast?

When the first transcontinental railroad was authorized in the early 1860s (during the civil war), the eastern terminus was fixed at Council Bluffs, Iowa/Omaha, Nebraska, a point served by several railroads at the time. Fixing the eastern terminus further east would have placed the new railroad in competition with existing lines and lengthened the length of the route to be built. Also, the transcontinental railroad was partly funded by land grants authorized by the federal government in the territories the railroad crossed; offering such land grants east of Nebraska would have been more costly and problematic.

Why do tornadoes come to Nebraska?

Nebrasaka is part of a region called Tornado Alley, which has an ideal climate setup for tornadoes. In the spring storm systems cause warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to collide with cool air from Canada and dry air from the Rockies, resulting in the formation of strong thunderstorms. About a mile off the ground a layer of stable air holds thunderstorm activity back, allowing instability to build underneath it. As a result when the storm break through the cap the instability will be enormous, leading to explosively powerful thunderstorms. At the same time wind speed and direction varies with altitude, which sets these storms rotating and also strengthens the updraft. This rotation combined with strong thunderstorm updrafts can then produce tornadoes.
