[TitanLover8011]

[PlayerHater501]

[TitanLover8011]

[PlayerHater501]

[laurettalee]

Ya.. I was there this night.. It was a Thursday and I wanted to go dancing that night.. I was 7 blocks from the destroyed fair ground building.. It was intense.. Harmon Park was hit bad too.. Trees I remember from when I was a kid, blown over. It was sad..

[TitanLover8011]

Wow. i wish i was there to see it. must of been Gigantic

[TitanLover8011]

Hey. if you said a near miss, then why did it land 70 feet from your home? I was almost gone in one when in Skipped over my grandmas house.

[paul0wen65]

I said near miss because it was tracking north first. When my upstairs neighbor noticed the funnel cloud 50 yards away and said "does that one look like its spinning?", we ran into my basement apt right before it touched down 70ft away.

[TitanLover8011]

Ok. well i think that the clouds are cool. thats one reason im addicted to watching this

[4208jason]

you got balls man if i was around you would have heard the loudest girly man scream ever and i am not gay

[kingtimmobile]

whats got being gay got to do with it? i know siome gays who are more masculine than staright people hehe

[naderchaser]

Guys, I'm pretty sure that there were 8 separate tornadoes that hit Grand Island on that fateful nite in '80. My cousin in Broken Bow lived thru that nite in G.I. She told me "yes...they really DO sound like freight trains". One thing for sure about that nite...there were NO OTHER STORMS in the U.S. that nite PERIOD!! And the one that blew up and dropped all those naders over G.I. was not supposed to happen at all!

[TitanLover8011]

Uhh. from the Kearney hub, I read there were 6 tornadoes at the time. one in aurora. Then there was a multifunnel. But MAN, thats the best tornado ive heard of.

[gabaway]

Creepy...I used to live just a few houses down!

[spedmonger]

Is it just me or do the lighter colored clouds at the very beginning look like a tiger or something similar.

[nbredu]

A tornado ripping through Kearney is a beautiful sight , they should make a movie .

[itb222]

tornadoes are cool.

[Ddewitt1220]

yea i was in kearney at the university when all this happened it was cool but scary all at once. They had all of us high school basketball teams in the basement of the gym it was fun getting to see the tornadoes and getting to drive home after but REALLY SCARY SHIT!!

[TitanLover8011]

That might happen to me if im accepted there.

[barihappy]

DUDE!!!!!!! you were my neighbor haha, cause it's the house like to your left that got destroyed, right? haha

[paul0wen65]

Serious? Yeah, the house behind to the left of my pov. There were people in the basement of that house man, so it wasn't funny when they came up after seeing the damage-but thankfully no one got hurt.

[kiddy2012]

I live in minden which is like... 20 minutes south of kearney but i was at my friends appartment when the storm was there and it was LOUD!!! lol. but i guess that same night minden got a hail storm and our siding is like... killed. lol. our house is old anyways so i guess it doesnt matter.

[jaih2]

Yea that was me in the basement.. :/ lost everything

[omarrianowilson9]

what kind of air raid siren is that?

[BellyJae]

Sounds like a Federal DC 2001.

[kearneyman123]

That was fuckin scary. My sis was cryin. I live here and the was the scariest. In 2000 we had this hail storm the size of softballs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paul0wen65]

I think that was 2001 and I remember that storm. This was insane because less than a minute later this tornado touched down less than 100 feet from my front door!

[kearneyman123]

Now that i think of it, ur probaly right

[nufanru04]

One of those Tornadoes were like 5 miles west of Benedict NE .

[tiffinymac]

I would say that this is one of the reasons i left Columbus and moved to nebraska but that's a lie cause we have gigantic tornadoes here, hahaha they call them hurricanes down here, i hate it hate it hate it! i'm going back to pennsylvania!

[copyright12222111155]

Damn, I live in New Jersey, so I've never seen a tornado up close.

You did a damn good job at capturing a tronado, pre-touchdown.

5 stars!

[1050HzSineWaveTone]

but tornadoes HAVE hit New Jersey...just not as often as it does in Nebreska.

Funny that Some towns in New York State have Tornado Sirens/Alarms and yet New Jersey and New York City dont.

[copyright12222111155]

What is that I'm hearing? An air raid siren?

[Karumachan]

yep its a tornado alarm

[pimpdaddycrace]

No one goes to there basements here in tornado alley. we have grown accustomed to going outside and looking up until we see a tornado touchdown. Then Running like fuck downstairs.

[SadieRae16]

i remember this one

[misfitlover32]

I live in Omaha, and I have yet to actually SEE a tornado touch down. I still love it how people that aren't from the midwest will ask why we aren't in our basement, but, that's what you do in Nebraska at least. If the tornado sirens go off you don't go downstairs, you go outside and look up. lol.

[kjacobs]

i live in tekamah... we had one hit right outside town. scary stuff. this is good footage. i am scared of tornado's i run for the basement. its nice to watch footage AFTERwards. thank you for sharing this :D

[JaysHuskers]

Omaha got hit with their first tornado in the area since 1991 on June 8th. We always get lucky, they usually pass into Council Bluffs. it was an F2. What was this one? Thoughts and prayers go out to those whose houses were damaged in Kearney. I heard it went through downtown?

[stormspinner1]

I'd a been heading for my basement - YIPE

Tornado skies and sirens have their own built in chill factor - glad you're okay -

*StormSpinner* in Texas

[stevecash83]

How freakin scary!!! AHHH!

[redrocket009]

uh 8? i doubt it. And the Seven that hit GI actually did damage to more than one area.

[strawboy2010]

last i checked we only had 2 tornadoes that touched down multiple times. did you mean 8 touchdowns?

[nickel9976]

Kearney beat Grand Island with the number of tornadoes, we had 8 and they had 7 on 6/3/80

[Jamesmom79]

Only on the number, my friend. Parts of G.I. were DESTROYED in 1980 and had to be rebuilt.

[KCspur92]

Yep, when approximately 8 tornadoes touched down that day, AKA, THE NIGHT OF THE TWISTERS!!!!!

[CDK0818]

I work at Eaton Corp, and they posted some pics off the security cameras and there was a tornado that passed on the road right in front of the plant, I cant believe that they said that at least 8 tornados hit us in Kearney.

[GilbertsonDerick]

How did you manage not to shit yourself?

[MesocycloneEvo]

those awesome green skies... scary awesome my friend

[cloverfield36]

awesome!

[Rooltheworld]

Wow, the tornado sirens alone manage to freak me out. I can't imagine seeing a funnel cloud right in front of me.

[2fstmotox]

we lived right by railroad and one of the torandos jumped over us on to pioneer park =P

[browniethedog]

wow you are soooo brave!

[paul0wen65]

Note I say "Near Miss" Not exactly...
