A tornado has plowed through suburban Omaha, demolishing homes and businesses as it moved for miles through farmland and into subdivisions.
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. As of Friday night, there were several reports of injuries but no immediate deaths reported. Tornado warnings continued to be issued into the night in Iowa. Three people were hurt in Nebraska’s Lancaster County when a tornado hit an industrial building, causing it to collapse with 70 people inside.
video showed one woman being removed from a demolished home on a stretcher in Blair, a city just north of Omaha. Two people were transported for treatment, both with minor injuries, Bonacci said. Crews were doing a second search of homes. Fire crews would work throughout the night to check all the unsafe structures and make sure no one is inside, Bonacci said. “People had warnings of this and that saved lives,' Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said of the few serious injuries.
