Tornado sirens force evacuation of Omaha stadium

OMAHA, Neb. — Thousands of fans watching a College World Series game evacuated an Omaha stadium when tornado sirens blared and ominous black clouds roiled above, as violent thunderstorms tore across the region.

The National Weather Service did not issue a tornado warning as the storm barreled toward TD Ameritrade Park on Monday night. Nevertheless, officials halted the Florida-Vanderbilt game and ushered fans onto the stadium concourse and to an underground shelter as heavy rain began to pelt the city, lightning lit up the sky and winds of up to 69 miles per hour buffeted the area.

Florida had been leading 3-1 with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning. The NCAA suspended the game until Tuesday morning.

Early Tuesday, the weather service said it had received several reports of tornadoes in Nebraska on Monday afternoon. It is possible that some of the reports were duplicate sightings of the same twisters. None were spotted at TD Ameritrade Park.

That picture is right out of some movie.

for the College World Series. Never heard the sirens before. Said it was scary stuff. Here's there for work.
Besides that, seems like he's having a blast.

It is awesome. Best zoo in the country, IMO.

At least that's what it said on his Facebook. He didn't make any other posts about the zoo. I will have to ask him about it next time I talk to him.

which is miles away from the zoo.

That's too bad. It was a beautiful stadium.

This had to be very frightening for the folks who were there.
