The storm that blew through Omaha Friday afternoon continued across the river in Council Bluffs where residents got to work Saturday on removing debris from their property.

"So me and my girls went upstairs and shut the windows really quick and that's when the hail started and it was coming so fast it felt like it was going to hit you," says Kristen O’Grady. "I just couldn't believe the velocity of the wind, how strong and how quick it came."

The storm left behind uprooted trees and countless piles of debris along 16th Street and North 11th Avenue. So many branches fell in this part of Council Bluffs that they've become the norm in yards rather than the exception. "Just in shambles right now."

Kevin Reed was bringing his dogs inside Friday night when a tree uplifted right outside his front door. "I hear this cracking, start looking around, this tree just starts falling. Boom!"

A glimpse down 16th Street and you see debris littering the sidewalk. The cleanup has begun, but Reed says his neighbors could use an extra set of hands. "If we had a little bit of help from the city it would be a lot better. People wouldn't be so mad, be willing to do this stuff."

Up the street, Ron Smith has a different view. He doesn't mind the extra yard work. "Well, you put it in perspective, we went downstairs, we were safe, you know some people weren't so lucky."
