The Governor of Nebraska has just declared a state of emergency after at least two people were killed and more than two dozen have been injured in a powerful storm that went through the northeastern part of the state Monday afternoon. Two half mile wide wedge tornadoes struck the towns of Seward, Stanton, and the town of Pilger is said to have been leveled which you can see in this photo:

I saw the start of this storm from some of the meteorologists I follow on twitter who showed the beginning of the supercell developing:

I’ve never seen @NWSSPC issue a mesoscale discussion for just one supercell…this is an incredibly dangerous storm: pic.twitter.com/VieLQ4tGCm

But what StormChasingVideo.com captured will simply blow your mind (and if you think this is wild check out this video of a stormchaser being struck by lightning)

And here’s another video from Greg Johnson of Tornado Hunters where you can hear a little bit of the roar of the storm

Thoughts are with the people of Seward, Stanton and all other affected communities and their families as they start the process of rebuilding their homes and their communities.
