OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) - A large thunderstorm ripped through the Omaha metro and surrounding area. The inclement weather forced the College World Series to cancel its Fan Fest and at around 9 p.m., more than 70,000 people lost power in the metro area.
Overall, several counties in and around Omaha spent a majority of the night in a thunderstorm watch or warning.
A large tree fell and blocked both lanes of a two-lane road in Omaha. The fall was in a wooded area near 232nd and Q.
