At least two people are dead, including a 5-year-old child, and 19 critically injured after a terrifying rare pair of intense tornadoes plowed into the small town of Pilger, Nebraska, on Monday afternoon.
Twin tornadoes are a rare, although not unheard of, phenomenon, and they created some dramatic imagery.
Here's how the storms appeared as they plowed through Pilger.
After the storms struck, the Nebraska State Patrol dispatched a helicopter to survey the damage in Pilger. What they found was near-complete devastation, along with the brown land-scarring patterns that are characteristic of only the most powerful tornadoes.
