Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AV1611: Am in Bellevue, NE (extreme southeast Omaha area). Just some heavy rain and pea-sized hail. Wind pretty tame here. Northwest Omaha area got hit hard. The airport, which is far east Omaha on the NE side of the Missouri River, actually got a tornado dropped on it. Terminal didn't get hit, but at least one of the outer buildings on the property did. I spent the summers of 79 and 80 with my dad in Bellevue after my parents divorced Remember the storms and tornado warnings. Used to scare the shit out of me. Fortunately no tornadoes ever hit in the apartment complex we lived in. |

The big one they are tracking has been on the ground for atleast 30 minutes. A couple of smaller towns got hit from the sounds of it. Harlan just narrowly missed it and that's a town of 5000. Carroll is in its path if it makes it there. That's a town of 10k

We’re lucky the big one decided to quickly and randomly break north. If it continued its trajectory east it would have been one of the biggest tornado disasters in U.S. history.
Feeling lucky. It was a few miles north of me and another one ran a few miles south east. The neighborhood my best friend lived in for years is now completely gone.

The damned radar is so jumpy it is really pissing me off. Elkhorn got it the worst. They have the area locked down pretty hard right now but it’s looking like most were properly sheltered.

Looked at the SPC Day 1 forecast a moment ago along with the various watches.
Highest risk area was "Enhanced". Not Moderate or High. And none of the watches themselves are PDS categorized. Given the fact that at least one of the ongoing tornadoes is a violent long-tracked type, one wonders why the models didn't pick up on the possibility of such. |

Lockinload is good! If anyone has family in west Omaha please don’t hesitate to reach out. They have the area pretty locked down it appears but if I can get a visual check on a family members property I will. Can also identify by location as to what’s been hit.

As bad as it is going to be, it could have been 100x worse. Yeah we got grazed by a 50 cal. Twice. If that big one kept heading east it would have ripped through tens of thousands of people in densely populated neighborhoods in just a few miles at that size. |
