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.

Photos on social media showed the small town of Minden, Iowa, about 30 miles northeast of Omaha also sustained heavy damage. “It does look like a big outbreak again tomorrow,” said Becky Kern, the warning coordination meteorologist in the U.S. National Weather Service’s Omaha office. “Maybe slightly farther south.”
“We'll be looking throughout properties in debris piles, we'll be looking in basements, trying to find any victims and make sure everybody is rescued who needs assistance,” Bossman said. “People had warnings of this and that saved lives," Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said of the few serious injuries.
“Some appeared to be violent tornadoes,” Kern continued. “There were tornadoes in different areas. And so it’s like forensic meteorology, we call it, like piecing together, all the damage indicators.” Nebraska Emergency Management Agency spokesperson Katrina Sperl said Friday afternoon that damage reports were just starting to come in. Taylor Wilson, a spokesperson for the University of Nebraska Medical Center, said they hadn’t seen any injuries yet.
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen posted on the social platform X that he had ordered state resources to be made available to help with the emergency response and to support first responders as they assess the damage.
