Tornadoes wreaked havoc Friday in the Midwest, causing a building to collapse with dozens of people inside and destroying and damaging hundreds of homes, many around Omaha, Neb.
OMAHA, Neb. — Tornadoes wreaked havoc Friday in the Midwest, causing a building to collapse with dozens of people inside and destroying and damaging hundreds of homes, many around Omaha, Nebraska.
Jeff Theulen, chief deputy of the Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Office, said at a late Friday briefing that 40 to 50 homes had been completely destroyed. Two injuries were reported but none was life-threatening. Hundreds of houses sustained damage in Omaha on Friday, mostly in the Elkhorn area in the western part of the city, Omaha police Lt. Neal Bonacci said.
In one area of Elkhorn, dozens of newly built, large homes were damaged. At least six were wrecked, including one that was leveled, while others had their top halves ripped off. Dozens of emergency vehicles responded to the area."We watched it touch down like 200 yards over there and then we took shelter," said Pat Woods, who lives in Elkhorn."We could hear it coming through. When we came up our fence was gone and we looked to the northwest and the whole neighborhood's gone.
"Was it one long track tornado or was it several tornadoes?" Kern of the National Weather Service said. The passenger terminal wasn't hit by the tornado but people rushed to storm shelters until the twister passed, McCoy said.
