Storm chaser Aaron Jayjack captured video of a monster tornado crossing interstate 80 today in Lincoln, Nebraska. Others are sharing photos and/or videos of the destruction so far. The situation is still developing.
In Jayjack’s video, you can see a tornado cross the road in front of his moving vehicle, then hover over the other side of the freeway as he continues to chase the storm. At one point, Jayjack comes across a semi-truck on its side, bisecting the interstate.
