Below are three YouTube videos of the Minden tornado someone sent to me.
I haven't looked at them for awhile, but the first two are shorter, and the third captures a longer sequence (10 minutes).
I'll add some brief notes from what I recall.
Here is someone driving in from the north, as the tornado hits. I-80 is 2 miles north.
I believe this is south of Minden (and the second part of the video is on Lincoln NE).
This captures more of the entire sequence, but less close up. See more of the shape shifting (on east side, out?, on its way out of Minden?). IIRC might have been driving in from the north, but decided to turn around, maybe some of this is from I-80.
Night time tornadoes are terrifying.

The lumber stuck into the walls of the Hampton Inn in Bartlesville sure tells the tale of what tornadoes can do to you.
Yeah, I'm not the type of person that needs a lot of sleep, so waking up 2 hours after falling asleep makes it hard to get back to sleep. Luckily my three dogs went right back to sleep after hauling them all downstairs, but it still probably took me an hour before I fell asleep again.If you're waking me and the kids up at 1:15 there better be a damn tornado.
Just kidding. Appreciate erring on the side of caution. But that kind of sucked for what wound up being a normal thunderstorm.
