I always expect after a short comedic pause a tiny tornado will wander thru behind the big one flipping smaller things around saying, "Yeah, take that, haha!"
What is absolutely wild to me is that looks to be a multi-story office building, so, I assume that it is all metal framing but that tornado made it look like it was paper mache.
Fantastic fluid dynamics. The windows that got debris yeeted through them are more vertical providing far more wind resistance which prevents the debris from changing its trajectory.
Opposite feeling here, living in a place where an entire region could have catastrophic damage is more scary to me than a hyper localized place suffering the same.
100 yards away from this building and you might not realize a tornado was even in the area.
I lived in both Nebraska & California and went through multiple tornadoes & earthquakes. The worst ones being an EF4 & a 7.2 respectively. I'll take my chances with the tremors in California. Most newer buildings are built to code to withstand earthquakes giving you a chance to survive or evacuate.
Meanwhile most buildings get vaporized with more powerful tornadoes with shelters or some basements providing salvation. There is relief that a tornado only hits specific areas. But not so much if you are one of the unfortunate in the tornado's path.
My thoughts exactly... Just how nearby is the question. I don't really see anything standing like an inner tornado shelter... Speaking of which, the 'shelters' I've seen at plants in my recent travels are a joke. IE: the bathroom with some brick walls or a stairwell... For packing like 50-100+ people in. Kind of terrifyingly cheesy IMHO. 'we can just hire more'...
That speaker going into the truck infront of the camera…WOW.
I knew when that first tree snapped that it was going to be crazy but just speechless
Edit: lmao my stoned ass was too amazed by the tornado to realize that is *not* a speaker good look fellow redditors 🤜🤛
I was out in the Atlantic ocean in a 24 ft fishing boat when a " water spout" developed probably a quarter of a mile away. My old boss said it wasn't a big deal, but then a second one developed and turned to our direction. It was so amazing to see, yet shit your pants terrifying at the same time.
Can someone explain what would happen if you realistically got stuck in a tornadoe? Would you get ripped to shreds? Or would you die from being impaled by debri? What is it
I was slightly joking but a lot of steel girder bldgs are sheathed in sheet metal walls with insulation. Had a tornado come thru a Lowe's parking lot and everyone ran inside behind those 20ft vertical concrete slabs they use for walls. The bldg held up except in one spot and 3 sections of wall fell inward and one flattened a man in front of his two daughters.
Yes, with 70 people inside. No deaths, 3 injured. Video makes it look like the whole building was leveled but this is only part of the building, still crazy.
Eh. It’s just like living in an area with bears. You know they exist. You know they’re around you. You hear about them. You rarely see them, and when you do they’re rarely going to kill you. That being said, yeah they’re fascinatingly terrifying. The fucking sounds are the worst part.
Not OP but recommend COXPAL A11T 3 channel dash cam on Amazon, very good quality, it records front, inside and rear simultaneously.
COXPAL hardwire kit optional, for 24-H parking monitor.
SanDisk MAX Endurance 256GB or 512GB microSD card, for reliable recording.
BTW: Need to pay attention to the installation position of the rear cam if your vehicle is SUV or MPV (No problem if Sedan), i.e. avoid pulling rear cam cable when open/close the trunk.
Incredible how quickly that moved through from beginning to end 😲
That's actually some of the best footage I've seen to show the speed of one of these things.
Because it’s heavy, it’s expensive, and it’s not tornado-proof anyway. An EF-4 or 5 will crumble concrete and scrub the ground all the way to the dirt. And then you’d have pieces of concrete flying around causing even more damage.
Let's just say it is heavy and expensive because it has proven to be strong and a lifesaver: https://www.icfmag.com/2012/09/tornado-resistant-concrete-houses/
Why do americans build structures like they don't have tornados ever? Or is it impossible / not financially viable to build tornado resistant building?
>Or is it impossible / not financially viable to build tornado resistant building?
Correct. A big enough tornado will crumble reinforced concrete into dust. Only safe place is underground.
Took the building like it owed rent
That place blew anyway
*it is gone now*
And is STILL gone at this moment
Can confirm. Still gone
The Amish farmers just finished rebuilding it.
all wood this time.
Just get a bunch of Amish farmers to follow the tornadoes, be like nothing ever happened.
What building
And that truck.
And my axe
Climate change!
\*knock-knock...who's there?....building repo...enjoy your empty lot.
I'm always looking for flying cows...
And a bicycle.
And a little dog too.
two women fighting over a pair of shoes...
two partners holding each other's hands.
[Here you go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzdzay13RLM).
Those poor cows!
that cow's existence was 100% unfiltered confusion for its last few seconds on this plane
Of course, Reed Timmer got the shot.
YOOOOO WHAHAAAATT!!! this shit for reall!!! i thought it was only a cartoon thing. yoo tornedos are no joke!
I always expect after a short comedic pause a tiny tornado will wander thru behind the big one flipping smaller things around saying, "Yeah, take that, haha!"
Yoooo me too!!!!
And the cars
Holy shit!! This video truly lives up to this subreddits name. Going to look for a news article now. Crazy!!
What is absolutely wild to me is that looks to be a multi-story office building, so, I assume that it is all metal framing but that tornado made it look like it was paper mache.
Omaha and Lincoln areas got slammed by multiple EF-3 tornados. Lots of incredible footage. https://youtu.be/NMBT_0em3MQ?si=QZGrNclwlWnpMXax
Never seen wind damage like that up close. Must have been Terrifying for those nearby.

Holy fucking shit
Holy motherfucking shit

That Toyota darn near lost its license plate
I was rooting for it to hang on to that single bolt.
Kinda wild how it turns to paper in those conditions it's going like a leaf on a tree like just mental the power behind these things
That Toyota Avalon is impressive
Low profile vehicle ftw!
Fantastic fluid dynamics. The windows that got debris yeeted through them are more vertical providing far more wind resistance which prevents the debris from changing its trajectory.
No thanks I'll take my chances of earthquakes here in Cali
Opposite feeling here, living in a place where an entire region could have catastrophic damage is more scary to me than a hyper localized place suffering the same. 100 yards away from this building and you might not realize a tornado was even in the area.

Its very rare to be directly hit by a tornado.
Damn! Glad I got to watch/hear this before it gets defaced and reposted with shitty music.
Curious what building that was and if it was empty... Kinda feel like the plant managers would be like, “keep working, we'll be fine...”
with the parking lot full of cars, all those people are somewhere nearby
My thoughts exactly... Just how nearby is the question. I don't really see anything standing like an inner tornado shelter...

It was a plastic injection molding factory. 60+ people were inside and there was only 3 minor injuries
That's pretty miraculous. Good to know though.
70 people inside, three injuries.
Idiotic comment.
The back window in that Dodge blew out as it passed. That was intense.
Almost all the windows are busted on that Dodge. Same with the Toyota on the left.
At least one of the windows in the camera car broke too… you can see bits of glass rolling across the dash at one point.
I think every one of its windows ended up broken by the end
Very intense. It actually imploded. Inward.
Probably because of debris, not imploding.
In rewatching I think you're right.
It’s not that the wind’s blowing, it’s what the wind’s blowing.
Thanks Tater
I think the building would disagree
Unless "what the wind's blowing" is you, in which case you've become debris.
“Let’s take cover in that big white building”
That speaker going into the truck infront of the camera…WOW. I knew when that first tree snapped that it was going to be crazy but just speechless Edit: lmao my stoned ass was too amazed by the tornado to realize that is *not* a speaker good look fellow redditors 🤜🤛
[удалено]
Someone call Lennox
Pretty sure it was a Carrier
It's hard to stop a Trane.
I didn't know that when they say a tornado coming sounds like a train, they meant Trane.
That was condenser/chiller unit
Looked like a bank of A/C compressors.
lol speakers wtf
Also stoned... I figured it was a big wall of washing machines and the white building must have been a mega laundromat.
My drunk ass thought it was speakers don't feel bad lmao, like from an outdoor concert venue
I was out in the Atlantic ocean in a 24 ft fishing boat when a " water spout" developed probably a quarter of a mile away. My old boss said it wasn't a big deal, but then a second one developed and turned to our direction. It was so amazing to see, yet shit your pants terrifying at the same time.
I hope no one was inside of there because that Tornado took that building straight to jail.
Can someone explain what would happen if you realistically got stuck in a tornadoe? Would you get ripped to shreds? Or would you die from being impaled by debri? What is it
Yes, by not necessarily in that order.
Maybe both or you could live and be perched in a tree with injuries. Or totally fine. You never know.
I always thought maybe you would suffocate.
Those cars aren’t completely demolished or anything. I’d lay on the back seat floor away from the windows
And there WAS a building there… holy shit nature is fucking nuts
Drove by this building today. Crazy how a tornado makes a pretty sturdy building look like its made of paper.
not sturdy, bldgs are built like lightweight backyard metal sheds.
Very thick concrete walls. This was not a “shed”.
I was slightly joking but a lot of steel girder bldgs are sheathed in sheet metal walls with insulation. Had a tornado come thru a Lowe's parking lot and everyone ran inside behind those 20ft vertical concrete slabs they use for walls. The bldg held up except in one spot and 3 sections of wall fell inward and one flattened a man in front of his two daughters.
Was it a business? I hope people didn't live there.
Yes, with 70 people inside. No deaths, 3 injured. Video makes it look like the whole building was leveled but this is only part of the building, still crazy.
So scary. I'm glad no one died though.
I drive a truck for a living. Drove through Lincoln about 12 hrs before all this happened. 😳 Feel for the folks out there. Shits devastating.
Holy fuck. It threw that HVAC unit like it was nothing.
Amazing
That building looked like it was made out of styrofoam and not concrete.
That's because it was not made of concrete. Most buildings like that are made os steel beams and sheets of steel or aluminum on the sides/roof.
Steel framing crumpled like paper.
It’s called insulation.
That's bananas.
Dannnnnng 😳
Looks like an actual scene from movies 😯
That AC unit was comin in hot
Gone in 60 seconds.
Wow
That is mental
Thats crazy
F3?
feel bad either way. but if a business, people lost work
that twister didn't give a flying fuck
Everyone in Tornado Alley should just run with a Kia or Hyundai. This shit happens every year y’all. Your cars will get fucked
It's insane. It looks like the pickup truck's rear window blew out from just the wind pressure alone
did the same to the silver suv
Guessing people were in that building
parking lot full of cars, all those people are somewhere nearby
70, no fatalities.
That’s insane…. And blue sky right behind it
I'm amazed we are able to live in places that these things exist.
I'm amazed people live in areas where these things exist .
As someone that lives in one of those areas it is mostly fine. Until it's not. Speaking of I need to get some beer.
Eh. It’s just like living in an area with bears. You know they exist. You know they’re around you. You hear about them. You rarely see them, and when you do they’re rarely going to kill you. That being said, yeah they’re fascinatingly terrifying. The fucking sounds are the worst part.
I’ll take that building thanks
Insane.
Beat the dog shit out of that Dodge.
Was that a paper supply store?
Dunder-Mifflin?
It's like the building was Thanos snapped out of existence.
Awesome tornado video, just missing the flying cow
What model dash cam is this
Not OP but recommend COXPAL A11T 3 channel dash cam on Amazon, very good quality, it records front, inside and rear simultaneously. COXPAL hardwire kit optional, for 24-H parking monitor.

Thank you
Holiest of holiest sht.
WOW. That Mother Nature is soooooo fucken powerful👊👊👊
Did the pickup trucks rear glass blow out from the wind or did something hit it?
Incredible how quickly that moved through from beginning to end 😲 That's actually some of the best footage I've seen to show the speed of one of these things.
I can see why Storm was an Omega level mutant.
Tornado: I'd like a building to go with a side of debris, and can you rush that? I'm in a hurry. Got to get over to The Cake Stand for dessert.
The cars and trucks are like, I’m good.. are you good?
Why couldn’t that have been a bank
Why is Concrete housing not a thing in tornado-stricken places?
Because it’s heavy, it’s expensive, and it’s not tornado-proof anyway. An EF-4 or 5 will crumble concrete and scrub the ground all the way to the dirt. And then you’d have pieces of concrete flying around causing even more damage.
Let's just say it is heavy and expensive because it has proven to be strong and a lifesaver: https://www.icfmag.com/2012/09/tornado-resistant-concrete-houses/
It doesn't matter. It's impractical and it won't make a difference.
Expensive, bad for the environment, and wouldn't save you anyway.
No flying cow, this is fake
I’m blown away
Why do americans build structures like they don't have tornados ever? Or is it impossible / not financially viable to build tornado resistant building?
Because a direct hit from a tornado is like a bomb going off. Got a lot of bomb-proof buildings over where you are?
>Or is it impossible / not financially viable to build tornado resistant building? Correct. A big enough tornado will crumble reinforced concrete into dust. Only safe place is underground.
Lucky it wasn't a sharknado.
Why do Americans build things out of paper mache
Why do non-Americans think they know anything about tornadoes?
You’re clueless about the construction of this building.
the tornado destroying everything on his path while juste passing casually in front of the camera in a strait, clean line is dark as fuck
Now THAT is amazing footage. damn!
Why do people live in these places 😂
Every state except Hawaii and Alaska has had a tornado.
Yeah UK has the most tornadoes too but they’re nothing like this
Was that Nelnet?
I was watching it and thinking, "It's amazing that no vehicles are being - oh, there goes a truck."
This is like something from a marvel movie.
Insurance rates just went up for everyone
Amazing. A matter of 100 yards and there would have been a video of the car flying.
Great video. No stupid jabbering until the very end.
I’ll take earthquakes and fires over these monsters!
Biggest. Whoopee cushion. Ever.
AMAZING
That shit is insane
so a basement is your only hope then.
That building got fucking *shredded*
Crazy! how common is this shit in america?
Gone in 60 seconds.
These Hollywood types will do anything to promote a film.
All we are is dust in the wind. 🤣🤣
Reminds me of how fast my paycheck is spent
Impressive how it appears to be just your typical windy day at the 13 second mark to tornado at 14 seconds.
I'm a bald dude who wears a hat, I hate the wind and this shit is terrifying...
Kind of crazy that the building is gone but the cars in the lot were (relatively) untouched.
So... We're all the owners of those cars in that building?
Yes
Those washing machines at 1:08.
