Injuries were reported, but no deaths
“Some houses have been razed and no longer exist,” Thomas Hinterdorfer, a storm chaser, told CNN.
Videos and photographs of heavily damaged houses and crushed trees are circulating on social media.
Omaha’s Eppley Airfield, the largest airport serving the region, was briefly closed Friday so officials could assess the damage, according to CNN.
