Big Storm here in Omaha

[Kio-oh-ki]

Ok, some of you may know that there was a big tornado storm here in the US. Luckly not much damage was done....even thought there was maybe 2-4 tornados or so. Heh, I had to go into the basement for 1/2 a hour cause my mom told us. But right up the street there was huge fallen trees on cars & houses/fallen power line & poles.....it will be hard to belive this but last year that was the same area effected by another storm, unlucky much. I was able to take a few pics, there kinda choppy since I took them in my mom's car....I'll post them.

Wow. Talk about desruction! I didn't know about these tornados in particular, but it's wierd because we were just learning about tornados today in my science class!

Ok, I see it may have seemed important, but then everyone might as well post if theres a bad storm, and I know there have been storms in the midwest lately.




Whoa! I must have posted right after you, MORSN! :cool:

Yeah, all of this damage happend in about 45 minutes. Today I even saw a house with all the windows blow/broken out. This storm was all over the news today, heck, if I would've stayed at the acciedent I could've been on TV because the new truck was there ready for a live news report.

^Its the "Day after Tomorrow," LoL, that would suck. I also forgot to mention that the storm was so strong(wind-wise), that it blew the pasted sign of of a huge billboard & the huge pic was just hanging there. I took a pic of it but my stupid camera deleted it.....its a really good digital camera but it has a habbit of deleting photo if it remains off.

That looks rough. It reminds of hurricane Charley a year and a half ago. Tronadoes can do more damage, but what is scary about a hurricane is how long it takes to leave. Our location was only a few miles away from its eyewall, wind was flying around 125 mph for a couple of hours, we were out of electricity for about 3 days and got a generator to save our food in the fridge, after that it was another 3 days before the power came back on. We were caught in the middle of 3 of the storms, so I know how you feel about the destruction and even the loss of 1 life.
