1. Was this a tornado or straight line winds?

Thanks for posting, we don't get news from the area living in the Cleveland area.

2. No tornado reports

The sirens did sound. It was to late for many people at two different locations. Summer arts festive was downtown. A free concert was about 20 blocks from the castle.

Some great video of the front as it hit downtown are here: http://www.omaha.com/
