Monday nights storms left behind a swath of damage in both Nebraska and Iowa. Perhaps the hardest hit area -- North Omaha.

Sister Najwa Magers who lives at 24th and Wirt says, "We kept hearing whistling and thundering and lightning so we ran to the basement. We got there just in time."

Just in time to escape injury but Magers didn't escape becoming the storm's victim. Her home's roof was ripped off.

"The bathroom was flooded. There was one bedroom in the back that was flooded. The basement was flooded and the kitchen and dining room," Magers said.

Magers' landlord, Betty Novotny, started cleaning up Tuesday morning but it's not an easy task.

Novotny says, "Half the building's gone. It sucked a flat roof off the building. Trees, bricks gone; water damage inside."

City workers were helping in North Omaha with the massive cleanup. OPPD crews spent the day restoring power but hundreds remained without electricity Tuesday night.

For Magers, still no power, but some relief came her way. The Red Cross is giving her a place to stay.

If you or someone you know was left in uninhabitable conditions after the storm, you can call the Red Cross for help. The number is 343-7700.
