From the distance, you can see the dark and ominous line of cloud for miles. This storm packed quite a punch with gusty and destructive winds reaching close to 60 mph and in some locations worst. Limited visibility, heavy downpours and cloud to ground lighting were the primary threats shown in this video. We didn't get hit quite as hard as Iowa did however, it was still quite an intense storm. I didn’t get a chance to capture all the damage from the tornados we had which took place over by Forreston, Mulford Rd, Roscoe and other places. On camera the storm doesn’t seem as intense but driving in it in person was a different story. I could feel the winds shaking and moving the car. Please enjoy the content.
