    I'm a driver for a flatbed company headquartered just south of Seward - been with them for 10 1/2 years. I've been trucking for almost 40 years, over half has been with Nebraska based companies. While I'm a Texan, Nebraska is second in my heart. I cried seeing the devastation caused by the floods the last several years.

    I hate to be that person, but the way the video is captioned makes it seem like there's a town called Lancaster. There isn't. Lancaster is the county that our capital, Lincoln, is in. This thing moved on the outskirts of Lincoln and hit Waverly, causing the roof of a warehouse to collapse and trap 70 people inside, as well as derail several train cars. That is the one in this video. Another hit Epply airport in Omaha and ripped up 4 hangers housing private aircraft. Another hit Elkhorn, an Omaha suburb, and flattened several blocks in a subdivision. Dozens, if not over a hundred, houses are damaged ranging from missing siding and beams to absolutely destroyed except for some foundation traces. It looks like a bomb went off. I would be very surprised if the one in Elkhorn wasn't at least an F4. Wind speeds were measured at 230 mph, it was over a mile in width, and it caused millions of dollars in damages. Those homes were all new and incredibly nice. If they were even on the cheaper end of the housing market right now at 300k per house, which I doubt they were as Elkhorn is a high priced area, well... Several blocks' worth of houses and were in the tens, if not hundreds of millions.
