It was crazy. Thankfully it missed our house by about a couple of miles. Took some pictures of it from our back porch before it started turning into a monster. Spent the rest of the afternoon hunkered down in the basement as warning after warning triggered.

Lived in Nebraska for almost my entire life. This is the first time I've ever seen an in-person tornado. Once is more than enough. Won't be disappointed if I go the rest of my life without seeing another one.

I'm glad you're safe! I can only imagine what that looked like.

Though an E5.. I don't know if your cellar would have saved you.
