Tornado leaves widespread devastation in suburban Omaha, Nebraska
Ойын-сауық
A tornado plowed through suburban Omaha, Nebraska, on Friday afternoon, damaging hundreds of homes and other structures as the twister tore for miles along farmland and into subdivisions. Injuries were reported but it wasn’t yet clear if anyone was killed in the storm.
Multiple tornadoes were reported in Nebraska but the most destructive storm moved from a largely rural area into suburbs northwest of Omaha, a city of 485,000 people.
Hundreds of houses sustained damage in Omaha, mostly in the Elkhorn area in the western part of the city, police Lt. Neal Bonacci said.
Police and firefighters are now going door-to-door helping people who are trapped.
He said the injuries are minor so far and he was not aware of any damaged businesses.
In one area of Elkhorn, dozens of newly built, large homes were damaged. At least six were destroyed, including one that was leveled, while others had the top half ripped off.
There were dozens of emergency vehicles in the area.
The tornado warning was issued in the Omaha area on Friday afternoon just as children were due to be released from school. Many schools had students shelter in place until the storm passed. Hours later, buses were still transporting students home.
Another tornado hit an area on the eastern edge of Omaha, passing directly through parts of Eppley Airfield, the city's airport. Officials closed the airport to aircraft operations to assess damage but then reopened the facility, Omaha Airport Authority Chief Strategy Officer Steve McCoy said.
The passenger terminal wasn't hit by the tornado but people rushed to storm shelters until the twister passed, McCoy said.
Flight delays are expected Friday evening.
After passing through the airport, the tornado crossed the Missouri River and into Iowa, north of Council Bluffs.

Very scary. I actually drove threw one. It ripped my boat into pieces. Trooper was surprised I was alive. I hope everyone is ok. All the poor animals outside hope they are ok.

You move to tornado Alley, not so bright are you?
“Widespread devastation” A sensational title that is technically true, but only due to the word “widespread” being a relative term.

I never understand why they build wooden houses in areas where there are tornadoes. Can anyone explain, please?

Yes. They are cheaper. There is an average of 2 tornadoes every 50 years and not in the same spot. It wouldn’t make much sense to build a thousand houses no one can afford due to an almost zero percent threat ratio
😢😢😢😢😮😮
The RESPONSIBILITY is the answer❣️
A tornado air force.
We will rebuild and stay in the alley. 😂
