Several people have been killed after tornadoes slam Oklahoma, Iowa and Nebraska

The devastating tornado that struck a home on a stretcher in Elkhorn, Nebraska, came through and bit into the woods around a new home

In one area of Elkhorn, dozens of newly built, large homes were damaged. Six were wrecked, including one that was leveled and others with their top halves ripped off. There are many emergency vehicles in the area. We were able to see it touch down 200 yards over there. “After we took shelter, we left,” said Pat Woods, a resident of Elkhorn. “We could hear it was coming through.” We looked to the northwest and the whole neighborhood had vanished when we came up our fence. “Kim.” Woods said that the entire neighborhood to the north of them was flattened. While a tornado hit a home, three people, including a child, were inside the basement, and all escaped safely, according to a man who works with the home’s owner. KETV-TV video showed one woman being removed from a demolished home on a stretcher in Blair, a city just north of Omaha. Two people were taken to the hospital with injuries.
