[GmoneyProductions21]

I was at rosenblatt outside, I literally almost died, about 5 seconds from getiin blown away in the 100 mph wind. It was a near death experience, it was insane.

[emilyonfirst]

the power in our neighborhood (south o') was out until monday of the next week.

[Lyric53]

I remeber this the sirens never went off that day

[kymscrazy]

o.O What area of town were you in? They were going off in Midtown and Downtown for almost 45 minutes before the storm hit.

[Lyric53]

I Live up North and I live by a siren too

[yuzuki120100]

@Lyric53 Well, the sirens came off where I lived that day.

[videogamerdude11]

but i was at my aunts.

her power was out for 2 days and the golf course she lived by was totally flooded.

It did so much damage in almost 5 minutes.

Thats crazy

[videogamerdude11]

we had no power for days and a tree got downed in my backyard.

It was a BIG tree.

[MrzChrisBrown4]

[Maxgfly89]

[azamatjon1983]

this thing was nuts...i live on 99th and fort...one minute it was sunny and nice, then bam 10 minutes later it was pouring rain and hailing...thank goodness my power didnt go out tho...I cant believe 2 ppl got killed in this storm...

[misfitlover32]

that is insane. Where about do you live? I live on 103rd and fort and we got some pretty insane stuff. I got a vid of it too.

[kymscrazy]

I live near 10th and Hickory, thankfully the porch was on the South side of the house.

[futonrevolutionary]

Wow, that's insane. I was in an apartment complex on 10th and Williams. We were looking out some glass double doors and we couldn't see ANYTHING. It picked up some railroad ties and moved them somewhere (I don't think the owners found them). I was going to head out to go back to my own apartment when I heard the sirens, and I pulled back into a different parking spot. After the storm I looked and a massive branch fell on the place my car was parked before I moved it. It was insane.

[kymscrazy]

My brother and his kids were actually on the I80 bridge when this hit. Not exactly the best car ride his kids have ever had.

[VeroLuvzLee]

Awesome video! It's hard to believe that this was no tornado. And, what's worse is that not only is this one of the craziest seasons Omaha has seen, but that it isn't even over yet! I just had my power restored after 27 hours with NOTHING. I feel bad for those that are still without. (Olde Towne Bellevue)

[kymscrazy]

We were only out of power for about 12 hours, but we still have a line out back to one of the apartments that hasn't been fixed.

[hollybug150]

best video i've seen of this so far! i wish i had my camera with me when it happened. we didn't get that much hail where i was, though (82nd and L).
