Severe thunderstorms swept through the Midwest Wednesday, including some that produced tornadoes.
One of the twisters was caught on camera. The National Weather Service says it was on the ground in Aurora, Nebraska for about 18 minutes. At its largest, the funnel cloud spanned a quarter mile across derailing train cars, uprooting trees and downing power lines.
The mayor of Austin, Minnesota says his town appears to have been hit by at least two tornadoes -- and maybe as many as five.
The storm flipped cars on their sides and sent trees
through roofs. It also flipped a semi on its side. A sheriff's
dispatcher says there was a report of a car blown into a house.
No serious injuries have been reported, but one man who was
inside a shed suffered scrapes and bruises when it overturned.
