I did start typing an Omaha review in the car on the way home, but this is what we found when we arrived back in Cedar Falls. Huge oak trees had been ripped right out of the ground on either side of our driveway, one crushing my daughter's car and completely blocking the drive. Many many other trees and limbs down throughout our neighborhood - they had to bulldoze through some streets to clear them of branchs. They are not calling the storm a tornado but the winds tore a 30 foot swath through the woods in back of our house so it looks almost like that strip was clear cut. Our grass is all blown flat and shredded leaves are plastered to all the white woodwork and garage doors of our house. So it is quite a mess, but luckily no one was hurt and the house was not damaged. It will be weeks before all the trees will be cut up and removed, I'm sure.
