A powerful tornado struck the town of Waverly in the state of Nebraska, United States, leaving several impacts, including the destruction of the warehouse of a factory where 70 workers were during their workday. The incident was recorded by a motorist who was near the site.

Through the dashboard-mounted video camera of a vehicle, it can be seen as the strong tornado, dark gray in color, approaches the warehouse gradually, while some trees are uprooted due to the violence of the tornado's force.

Did the employees trapped in the warehouse survive?

The EF-3 tornado reached the height of the warehouse, which seemed to be able to withstand the strong winds, but when the natural phenomenon arrived, the first thing that began to collapse was the roof of the facility owned by Garner Industries.

After part of the roof flew off, the next to collapse were the walls, which detached as if made of paper. The whirlwind covered the warehouse with its accumulated, black-colored dust until it completely destroyed it, with its parts spinning in the air as they were trapped in the winds.

Tornadoes leave three dead.

Although there were around 70 workers inside the warehouse who were working on a daily basis last Friday, April 26, they did not suffer serious injuries. However, over that weekend, there was an outbreak of tornadoes that, in addition to causing material damage, also claimed the lives of three people, according to local media.
