Uh yeah. Last Friday afternoon.
Once the 90mph winds blew through (it's been equated to an F2 tornado or hurricane force winds), it was actually quite a pleasant evening to sit out on the deck. Since we lost power for about 6 hours, that is. Some folks still don't have it back.

The entire storm took about 15 minutes to blow through. It was just surreal. The Summer Arts Festival....well, let's see... 
It looked sort of like this. I was just sick.

We didn't get much of anything at our place, we were lucky. Some pretty strong winds and a bit of rain (less than an inch) but Omaha and CB got hit HARD. 5" of hail in some places.
Here's another fun photo....Dodge and Saddle Creek.

Yikes!!!
That was a nasty one!
Did a lot of artists lose there stuff? That's sad.
That happened to Denise. She was at an art show, and the wind picked up and destroyed her booth. Every piece of ceramics she had there broke, except for the one that she grabbed on its way down.  |

There wasn't a lot of warning, but many of them were able to get things zipped up or packed away before it hit. We went yesterday and I talked to a number of artists...it was really just heartbreaking for the pottery folks.
One guy had a big posterboard sign taped up on rubbermaid tubs:
Tent: $450
Broken Pottery: $4500
Beer to Cope: $25
Pride = Priceless
At least he had a sense of humour. I told him it would take a lot more than $25 of beer to get me to cope!

that's sad.
Were the cars and housed damaged in town limited to a few areas, or was there wide spread disaster? |

132,000 without power in Omaha, no count on CB and the outlying areas. Lots of damage all over. Dan had to work yesterday to help clean up.
Two 18 year old kids were killed in CB when a tree fell on their car roof.

Oh dear. The first pic looked like ice. We are due storms tonight, but nothing like that. Glad you are ok.
