Sounds like some of these storms are pretty serious, particularly in the Waterloo, Elkhorn, and Bennington areas. Hopefully everyone is staying safe.

We were having golf ball sized hail here in Arlington. Then the sirens went off around 12:30. Made it through that. Multiple tornados to the south.

Pretty big tornado touched down by my house. 70th Cornhusker was pretty big. Derailed train cars over here. Hope everyone is alright.

I’ve got recordings and pics of tornados on ground in like 4 or 5 different parts of Lincoln. 😮. Never seen anything like this

Sister said it went over Bennington, which was where she was before she drove like crazy home to Elkhorn. Elkhorn's ok.

Weather channel showing new development in Douglas Co with substantial damage. Wish they would be more specific as to the area.

New tornado warning for Blair and Omaha. Egads.

You know it's bad when the Weather Channel is broadcasting from the Old Market.

Up to six different tornadoes? It looks like one by Elkhorn was really bad.

Best info coming from Omaha tv stations KETV, etc. with their live reports. Yeah, it's Bill Ramby - sorry, I can't remember which station the "weather hottie" is with.

I'm out of state this week but I hope all of you in the Lincoln & Waverly area emerged unscathed from today's storms. Frightening videos!

North Elkhorn hit hard. North East of Lincoln. Hearing Bennington, possibly the Newport Landing area with the gigantic houses. Some buildings at Eppley airfield. Iowa also getting it hard.

Just got home, we kept kids sheltered many are still there. They dont have a home to go to. Ramblewood especially the west sides of it are gone. Elkhorn Middle will be a Red Cross site.

I think everyone better start coming to grips that the spring game might not happen if the injury reports in Lincoln are accurate. I hope no one died.
