A tornado also took out two center pivots and numerous trees just east of Salem NE. It doesn't surprise me that you people didn't know that , you don't even know Richardson County exists unless someone gets murdered down there.

I am a spotter for a volunteer squad and so far all I noticed is that all of you want notice for cover and are not willing to be out in it to make the call. My husband and I both go out and spot for our community and it is not always that easy. You have darkness, dirt clouds, rain, hail, so many factors come into play that you don't know. And yes we we have children at home. We do what we do to protect them and our community. We feel what we do is very important! There are many factors involved. How many of you see what is going on at all times or are willing to go out and do it! Obviously you are dependent on others for your safety. I recommend going to storm awareness class at Saline Center 3-29-09 at 1:00 p.m. Let's ALL be aware of what's going on around us and help our neighbors instead of pointing a finger. We can't blame people that do what we are not willing to do.

Ask your fire department that question...

I too wonder why it took so long sirens went off???? It was over by the time they did go off.

I am very curious as to why it took 4-5 minutes AFTER all this damage occured before the sirens in Eagle were sounded? We were already cleaning up the glass in our living room when we heard them sound. This town could have been leveled and people badly hurt...I'm just thankful it wasn't worse than it was or it could have been a completely different situation. Everyone knew that there was going to be bad storms today and could clearly see the sky turning black...someone should have been watching more closely and warned this town sooner. Thank goodness we're smart enough to keep our eyes open!

my house was also hit my hte tornado. our camper was on its side and it had torn off all the siding and everything on the sides of our house...we have a little shed in the back yard and it was totally gone. but everyone at my house was ok...

yea that was our house with the front house torn off of it

so far we have been lucky by not haveing any real severe weather just a little bit of rain and no tornadoes.

that is neat
