Of all the scary things on the planet, tornadoes have to be the scariest.

[NezukoKamadoart]

This is like the multi-votex tornado that ripped thorough Wichita Falls Texas on April 10 1979 with as many as six separate tornadoes orbiting the main tornado.

oh dear god please protect the people and animals 😢

This is just like the El Reno tornado, except it's not rain-wrapped so you can actually see what's going on. Freaking insane. Absolutely spectacular footage, and I really hope this was farmland and that was maybe an outbuilding of some kind that was hit and not someone's house, car, etc that was smoking while it was being flung.

They call it deadman walking, when it’s a multi vertex tornado. Scary stuff

[Armssmasher-euyh]

Commenting from omaha Ne it was really bad. It ended up being an F5 the worst we’ve had in 11 years. It was one building away from hitting me…
This is unbelievable so many houses are destroyed just going home from work dozens of ambulances and police cars driving by me. These poor people who’s houses were destroyed my friends family coworkers so much gone

[jonathanrose]

Praying for everyone. I know the chasers and announcers get excited and adrenaline. Just hope that wasn’t a house when they talk about the smoke at the 4:35 mark.

[BYHIZBLOOD]

No one is talking about the cars just driving along...

[dylangarrett]

Another tornado formed after this one and did the exact same thing.

[BubbasndRayEarl]

A massive Wedge. God help the people in its path

[lynncollver]

I have never seen a such a nightmare ..

[TG-ndrj]

Wedge tornado, multi vortex, dead man walking... Prayers for Nebraska and Iowa...

[Peas_Please]

Nebraska raised…thankful to have lived through many of these moments before news could do what it does.

[BlackjackHookers-njqj]
