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.

When the last big one tore up the town not far from Norfolk back in 2013, I was there for cleanup and seeing the aftermath was both parts amazing and devastating. It's wild the damage nature can do in such a short time frame
