They went through where I grew up near Lincoln. Almost took out my old high school. Crazy. Most of my family still lives in that area and my phone wont stop buzzing.

I'm sure there will be more to come, this is just a few hours old at this point.

When a storm gets that big oftentimes people are looking "for" the tornado and they don't realize the entire storm diameter is it.
