A tornado plowed through suburban Omaha and Nebraska on Friday, damaging hundreds of homes and other structures as it tore for miles along farmland and into developments.Multiple tornadoes were reported in Nebraska and Iowa on Friday, but the most destructive storm moved from a largely rural area into suburbs north-west of Omaha, a city of 485,000 people.
Three people were injured in Nebraska’s Lancaster County when a tornado hit an industrial building, causing it to collapse with 70 people inside. Police and firefighters moved door-to-door to help people. Crews went to the “hardest hit area” and had a plan to search anywhere someone could be trapped, Omaha fire chief Kathy Bossman said.“They’re going to be putting together a strategic plan for a detailed search of the area, starting with the properties with most damage,” Ms Bossman said.
The tornado warning was issued in the Omaha area on Friday afternoon just as children were due to be released from school. After passing through the airport, the tornado crossed the Missouri River and into Iowa, north of Council Bluffs.
