Chaos in Nebraska Today! Extreme Storm Swept Away Homes, Cars in Omaha

The Waterloo Volunteer Fire Department was called to Two Rivers state park just before 7 a.m. Saturday, where first responders found a vehicle crushed by a large cottonwood tree. The tree had toppled as the storm brought gusts higher than 80 mph (129 kph) to the area, according to the National Weather Service. A woman in the vehicle was declared dead at the scene, while a man was trapped inside, the fire department said in a news release. In the state capital of Lincoln, the storms damaged two housing units at the Nebraska State Penitentiary, displacing 387 prisoners, the state Department of Correctional Services said in a statement. More than 30,000 customers are without power in Lincoln, and several traffic lights are out due to the storm. Blair Mayor Mindy Rump declared a storm damage emergency late Saturday morning after a severe thunderstorm tore through Washington County earlier in the day, causing severe injuries to people trapped in their RVs at Riverview Park and Resort on Riverside Lane.
