Omaha Shelf Cloud 6-27-08

On 168th street and on Zorinski is where this bad boy was filmed. Sorry about the quality, it was filmed on my cell phone intead of my HD camcorder. Anyways there were about 1 foot size tree branches hitting the car and the rain was just insane! There were waves on the lake and the wind just seriously picked up. It really looked like a tornado was right over us. The rotation was right over our car as well.
UPDATE: Ok I found out that the winds were up to 115 mph or even more!!! The winds would be a cat 3 hurricane in some areas. Thankfully no one in our area was hurt. Sadly two guys were killed in Counclil Bluffs.
