The channel showed up all by itself. I was going to watch trains, and out of nowhere this thing shows up.

8. ...

I don't do xitter so utoob is where I watch this, thought I'd add a link for those who aren't on xitter.

4. Yikes! I'd have been driving very fast in the *opposite* direction.

5. Wow. I hope everyone in its path stays safe.

6. Hey, yeah.

Completely coincidentally, some weather channel has popped up on YouTube. This looks like some totally serious stuff.

Let me try to get the link. This is it:

9. Dear Lord.

That is frightening

[blue neen]

10. Holy Cow!

That is terrifying!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

11. Now they've got something going on down in Texas. NT

[Oopsie Daisy]

12. This is the stuff of my nightmares. No, seriously... I dream about these things.

Very frightening, even from a distance.

Who was that asshole representative who brought a snowball onto the chamber floors and declared that "snow in DC" meant that "global warming was a hoax". --- Fuck him... and all the climate change deniers.

13. Omaha TV channel:

23. Wow.

[wolfie001]

24. Yes! I'm thinking nope..........nt

[AllaN01Bear]

15. eep. glad the trucker is ok.

[KS Toronado]

16. TSF would have nuked it to show who was boss.

[orangecrush]

17. Too close for comfort

Definitely a pucker factor of 10.

18. It's April. I've been wondering when tornadoes...

would start coming.

There will be more.

[Mr.Bill]

19. Here's a good live link:

[Bundbuster]

20. Why would anyone continue driving TOWARD that thing?

[Mr.Bill]

26. The ones I'm watching in the live link in my post #19

are professional storm chasers. I would bet their dashboards are loaded with navigation and other electronic equipment to guide them.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. At about 50 secs in, it looks like a baby twister spawns for a few seconds.

[orwell]

22. Why does God...

...hate Nebraska?

Asking for a friend...

[Barry Markson]

25. Because they put it right in the middle of Tornado Alley!

How short-sighted.

[JoseBalow]

29. Nebraska never gets any love

[slightlv]

27. Just heard from my girlfriend who's up there in all this...

said it has hit places all around her, but so far she's okay. I hate when friends are so many miles away! I tend to worry a little too much...

Although it's south and north of us today, I've added cleaning out the main level "safe room" since we're under a watch now, and looks like storms all next week. It's a lot easier to herd the cats into the safe room than it is for me try to get them to the basement. Heck, it's easier for ME to go to the safe room... those basement stairs are scary as heck at my age!

Everyone in these monsters' way... eyes up and stay safe!!!

28. driving into a tornado

always reminds me of this...

And of the time I was riding in a car with my dad going to Wichita. We had two moderate sized tornados on each side of I-35... and my dad told me to keep a sharp eye on the one on my side... I think I was 5 or 6 years old.

30. I live in Lincoln. It missed us, but I was wondering...

..is Omaha Steve ok? This is supposed to repeat again today.
