More Videos: Wildfires, Floods, Tornadoes Continue To Plague U.S.

Flooding in Omaha, Nebraska Thursday after 
severe thunderstorms swept through. 
Note the patches of hail floating in the water.

 Another week another, another period of weird, scary weather across the United States. Part of New Jersey burned in an enormous wildfire. Omaha, Nebraska, for the second time this month, endured intense thunderstorms and hail. 

And as usual for this time of year, Texas has been producing tornadoes. 

Those tornadoes on Thursday are setting the stage for what will probably be a big severe tornado and severe weather outbreak that will bubble along tonight and tomorrow, intensify some on Sunday, then really kick into high gear next Monday and Tuesday.

Here are some video highlights from our recent wild weather. 

Scenes from the New Jersey wildfire.  In terms of extreme wildfires, I swear New Jersey is the new California. They've had some nasty ones over the past six months. As always click on this link to view, or if you see the image below, click on that. 

The area around Omaha, Nebraska has not had a good time lately with severe storms and tornadoes. Last week, tornadoes swirled near the city, damaging and destroying houses in eastern Nebraska and Iowa. Those storms last week including that epic hailstorm in Fremont, Nebraska I posted about recently

Another round of intense storms struck Omaha Thursday, prompting tornado warnings, dumping a lot more hail, and flooding parts of the city.  Here's a video of a car being pushed down a hill be water and dumped into a hail-encrusted lake that formed  at the bottom of the hill.

Earlier this month, intense flooding hit some Midwestern and southern states, including Arkansas. In this video, water tore through Spring River, Arkansas, ripping homes from their foundations and causing extreme destruction. Brian Emfinger documented the aftermath in the following stunning video. Click on this link to view, or if you see the image below, click on that.

This time of year, western and central Texas can be the scene of some powerful and picturesque tornadoes. This one occurred Thursday near Matador, Texas, which is northeast of Lubbock.  It looks powerful, but luckily passed over a sparsely populated area.
