I live in Omaha Nebraska. I am 64 years old. We have tornados threats and sirens every season, but THAT DAY was historic! Sirens. Then stopped. Then sirens again. One threat after another after another that afternoon. The last time I lived through anything like that was the Omaha tornados of 1975 when I was 15 years old.
The miracle in this was that there was NO LOSS of human life.

Bummer for the people that endured this. I hope you are OK.

Worked as a cameraman for CBS in my 20’s and I chased these damn things until one day I got too close and called it quits. Absolutely terrifying!!! Mad respect for those tornado chasers out there today doing it. Prayers go out for all the people that were in these things paths.

Bro... Tornados are straight up terrifying. Especially the long skinny ones bro they are just so intimidating.

Beautiful and terrifying at the same time. My heart goes out to all the residents impacted by this horrific tornado..

Prayers to those Nebraskans who were greatly affected by these deadly tornadoes.

Prayers for everyone in all the states hit by tornadoes. I used to live in Kansas and have experienced several.

I live in Nebraska. This is 5 hours away from me but still we are all impacted by the tornadoes that hit our state. Pray for the ones who got hit🙏

I grew up seeing them in Louisiana & they still blow my mind by the beauty & the terror of them. My heart & prayers goes out to all who were impacted.❤

Nebraskans are built different. Was gaming with my buddy when these tornados touched. I asked if he was getting off to seek shelter. His reply. “ it’s not facing my porch. Not worth my time.” 😂

Hugs and prayers from Penang Island, Malaysia. 😢

These things are so unpredictable, knew someone who had a large oak tree ripped out of the ground and their home just a 100 feet away didn’t even lose a shingle. Amazing and precise almost like someone is guiding it 🤔

We are under major tornado watch right now here in TX. It's the middle of the night (about 2:30am) and the whole fam is up in case we need to take shelter. We're in rural TX with no tornado siren so we have to be vigilant tonight. These storms that hit Nebraska and Oklahoma are in TX now and causing havoc everywhere.

[MrsJustinWilkerson]

That really is so awful. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.

[elizabethwitt]

Prayers that everyone and all the animals are safe. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[reidspicer]

[claytonsimplot]

I saw all those horse trailers in the parking lot and hoped they had some kind of escape plan.

[briannal]

I would be so terrified to live there, I wouldn’t be able to sleep

[barbarahill]
