re: Unreal dash cam video of the Apr. 26 Lincoln, NE EF3 tornado

That silver Dodge truck, on the right, back window imploded. Also lost the other windows by the looks of it

Dodge truck - rear window 0.27, driver window 0.28, rear left passenger window 0.35.

From OP - "The vehicles in the parking lot narrowly missed a direct hit, and most made it through with minimal damage."

Only if busted windows and dents are minimal damage. The vehicles closer to the building had it worse than the 3 we can see well. But they at least weren't going airborne. When I was a child we drove through Topeka and my father pointed out dents on a tall water tower. The dents were from cars.

Found a photo, Topeka tornado 1966, water tower is in the photo, I think we drove by it in 1969. The dents were in the top section.



Great video. Tornados are terrifying.

How would anyone know that for certain?

Dodging a tornado is kind of like drafting a quarterback.
Pretty much a crapshoot

There is almost always a ditch around.
