I live in a little town in SE, Nebraska and I heard over the scanner a police man reported a funnel dropping about 3 miles west of me headed my way. We have no sirens in this town since there are only 40 people in it. A few minutes after the scanner report everything just went dead calm outside, the wind stopped completely the rain stopped and in a matter of seconds it got as dark as it is close to 9:00pm, then all the sudden the wind just hit it must have been around 75-80mph. Im guessing the funnel bounced back up and went over me, a barn was destroyed a few miles west of here. I actually got pretty close to going into the basement, I had the door open. To tell you the truth, i love this stuff. Although when confronted directly with it it is very frightening.

Same here. I have been frustrated that all the storms have been hitting east of my location.
