Cars Pull Over as Black Tornado Crosses Interstate in Nebraska

Footage filmed by Clint Hendricks shows the massive dark tornado furiously swirl as he drove on Interstate 80 on Friday afternoon near Lincoln Nebraska. “Large tornado. Lots of debris in the air,” Hendricks said. As he spoke, cars and trucks could be seen pulling over, though many people continued to drive towards the twister. #i80 #lincoln #nebraska #tornado #shorts

Growing up in "tornado alley" I can warn people that are near a tornado on the ground, that these tornadoes CAN/OFTEN turn in a different direction in seconds! Do NOT stand underneath a bypass. Do NOT sit & watch it. Turn around & get OUT of that area. While you can.

As someone who does search and rescue after disasters, the debris field from tornadoes are a nightmare. Take cover IMMEDIATELY. I know tornadoes can pop out of nowhere. I've been in them. They can literally drop down beside you. Take it SERIOUSLY. Please.

No wonder the native Americans called tornadoes "dancing devils". Look at that thing.

Drove through this area on my way to Colorado last year. It was dark and a storm hit. Lightning lit up the sky, and when we looked to the east, there was a giant tornado. It looked like it was standing still, which apparently means it's heading for you. It scared the hell out of us and we drove through hail to get out of its path. Scariest thing i think I've ever seen.

Survival Rule Number 1 always drive 🚗 in opposite direction of the Tornado 🌪 and Not toward it!

I was in Omaha when this tornado ripped through Nebraska. It came at Omaha. It hit just 1 house away from 1 of my brothers. Another family member had fence ripped out of the ground and the garage door was bent in the middle by flying debris. They couldn't get their car out. There was so much more damage. My Mom and I had the sofa cushions in the bathroom to put over our heads as we sat in the tub. She lives in a 1st floor apartment so that was the best we could do. The sirens kept going off for quite a while. So glad God kept all of my family safe!!

If you've ever been in one of those at night or a whiteout version, it is by far the most hair raising thing ever.
It puts all your senses in overdrive and the sound they make burns into your soul.

Thanks to The Wizard of Oz, I've been afraid of tornadoes since childhood.

[stanmansa]

The fact that you're still driving towards it is wild🤣🤣

Living in Kansas and Missouri, I learned to head for cover when the sky turned green

As a California native, this is scarier than ab earthquake 😱

This was the color of our tornado in Ontario Oregon in the early 70’s. It dropped straight down out of the sky we didn’t even see a funnel it was on top of us.. we were in my Dads truck . We turned off the freeway it dropped down my dad took a hard left and another hard left behind a huge warehouse The corrugated steel doors were completely horizontal in the air. 55 barrel drums were rolling everywhere, a guy bailed out of his simi truck before it came to a stop, the grain silo arm broke and grain was flying out not even hitting the ground below. A cattle truck turned over on its side 😭 trees were ripped out and down, roofs were ripped off homes and the rest area! my Daddy saved our lives with his quick thinking.. boy I miss him, he was a great dad . I was 9 at the time, It was crazy and exciting all at the same time ! Love you Daddy! Praying for everyone in these difficult times and days!

Lots of respect for our Delivery Truck Drivers. They really gotta get through everything and anything to make sure we get what we need.

I always heard that if it looks like a tornado is not moving, it's because it's coming directly at you.

Being this is Nebraska, you would think they would NOT stand under an overpass. Major suction. I also am a person who was born and raised in 'Tornado Alley' (southeast Kansas). It's a little bit late when you're flying through the air. 😮😮😮😮😮😮

NEVER EVER EVER park under an overpass if you find yourself in this type of situation. Overpasses, tunnels and bridges act as a channel that increase the speed of the tornado’s wind, making it a far more dangerous place to be.
Trust me!

As a truck driver, I am f*cking astonished that that many people were paying enough attention to stop.

[bearg-ma]

It amazes me that people are are pulled over waiting just waiting.

[kittyfeline]

Literally right out of my nightmares.😬

I have lived in the Midwest all of my life, and seeing this still scares the crap out of me. When I was a kid, we lived in a trailer. When a tornado was coming, dad would take us down in the ditch, and cover us. Now that I'm a mom, I told my husband that I'll always live in a house with a basement, so my child doesn't have to ever go through that.
