Sibley IowaTornado strikes , 2010. Amazing pictures.

This is real. The meteorologists kept saying get in the basement or take cover under something. Then the sirens went off. These are videos of the storm, the funnel cloud, and the aftermath, including pictures of the cars that took shelter under the freeway overpass, unsuccessfully. My sympathy goes out to the folks who lost their farms, their animals, and their whole livelihood. I also want to thank the Sibley Fire Dept, the Sheriff's dept, and all the volunteers from other towns and other fire departments who helped (and are now still helping) these people try to put their lives back together.
Approx 12 farms, and a hog farm were totally destroyed or damaged badly, including some 1000 hogs that were killed in the Tornado. Many had to be shot, that were in pain.

Thanks to Matt Hodapp for the amazing Funnel Cloud Picture shown at Little Rock., before it hit us. I received the picture a bit too late for the video, but it is shown on my home page featured video.

I am not used to making videos of sad events like this as you know, but this is an important reminder that we are puny, in the big picture, so we must heed the warnings of mother nature to survive.

Thanks for watching and any support you may have for the families.

I'm a hard-core tornado chaser (for 25 yrs.) and Nebraska native. I've seen this heartbreaking scenario many many times. I did not chase this storm. You did a magnificent job Dave, with this entire video. It was obviously put together with a lot of reverence and respect. And while I'm at it, thank you for your Nam service. You know, I've had to choose between laying on the ground in 3 in. of rainwater with lightning sticking to the ground or get under a viaduct. Its a damn tough choice.

@NightFlyyer When was this Tornado?

[XFireyFlamesX]

"Also, you'll see what happens if you try to hide under a freeway overpass when a tornado is on the ground while in your car."

1. Who the fuck would do that? 'Cause it provides sooo much cover -.-

2. You die, quite hilariously.

Kidding.
