Checking in with our Midwestern people - everyone okay after last night's storms? Looks like another round is supposed to roll in tonight. The Omaha tornado looks like it might have been an EF5, the video footage is terrifying.
DD1 was at a sleepover a couple blocks away from the path of one of the tornadoes last night. Navigating the roads to pick her up this morning was an adventure but she is now home safe. A smaller tornado was spotted/radar indicated about a half mile from our house but we didn't even have hail.

We had one drop down about 2 miles from my work (Lincoln). It was a smaller one- not the one that got the building and train. We got the nice end of it.
Fortunately the injuries reported are 3 in Lincoln (at the business that was hit, all minor), 2 in Omaha (in the hospital but minor) and 4 in western Iowa (also minor). No criticals. No fatalities.

It was scary for a bit for us, but everything is OK. The big one was several miles west of our house. The one that came down on the airport was headed straight for my sister’s house for awhile, but it turned and missed her by 1/2 mile or so. Just some minor hail damage for her and no damage for us.
Now I’m worried about my mom who is south of here and right in the area they are saying will be the worst today. ☹️

We’re okay. We watched two tornadoes go around our house and the building beside my hospital was badly damaged. We just have some tree damage, a lot of people around us had some extensive property damage.
We still don’t have power so that sucks.

My likes are to show I care, not happiness for property damage.
Extreme weather is so so scary. I hope everyone stays safe
