(Filmed north to east, on the street -- you can see a lot of the people who helped as well as a damaged car.) Rain, hail and high winds ripped through Omaha on June 27, 2008 around 5 pm. My century-old neighborhood had a lot of downed trees that damaged homes and cars. Luckily the tree at 48th and Capitol fell right in the middle of the street and only damaged 2 or 3 parked vehicles, so no one was hurt. Omaha has awesome citizens and it was cool when neighbors and even strangers stepped up to help clear and clean the street so traffic could get through again.
Thank you for sharing your story. It was a very scary day; I truly hope you and your family are doing well.
