FOX WEATHER meteorologists visually identified multiple vortexes from the same tornadic system as a huge tornado miles wide slammed into the small Iowa town of Shelby just east of the Nebraska border near Omaha and Interstate 80, churning up debris.

Hurricanes and wildfires can be more widespread and last longer (especially fires). Earthquakes imo are by far one of the most frightening things I personally have experienced, M6.0 + and nowhere to hide unless somehow you can remain airborne lol. Every natural disaster can seem to be the scariest of them all. Derechos, volcanic eruptions, you name it

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.

My grandparents helped clean up after that storm. They had 50 or so pictures they took. My aunt has them now, but I had never sewn destruction like that until they showed me the pictures when I was about 11 or 12. It looked like the town had been bombed. I was only 3 years old when it happened. I have only seen destruction in person once and that was the 2003 Moore tornado. I live in Texas and pray to never experience it for myself. I hate that anyone has to endure that kind of fear and destruction. I'm praying for everyone that has been affected by these monsters over the last few days! ❤
My friends and family and myself are going through this rn. God bless us all.

@downrightdisturbed

A debris ball is different from a tornado width or damage track. A debris ball is using radar reflectivity that reflects unnatural objects in the air instead of rain, and these objects could have been lofted 1/2 mile away or more on every side of the tornado. This is a better indicator of intensity than size.
