A series of four tornadoes touched down west of Aurora, NE during my 2009 storm chasing trip. The first three were small and dissipated quickly, but the fourth was a violent EF2 wedge tornado that lifted before striking downtown Aurora. Structure damage was reported and train cars were flipped over. No injuries reported. We were the first chasers on the scene with this storm and video of the first three tornadoes has not aired on TV due to this.
NOTE: Audio is not available for the first few clips, but is enabled from 1:29 onward.

Thanks for all the comments everybody! Crouching down in a field 250 yards away from an approaching wedge tornado is certainly a once-in-a-lifetime thing!
