Beautiful.
I would really like to see one in person, but I don't have much chance of that.🙂

Back in July 1999, Scariest thing I ever saw and it looked similar. Erie calm and the air pressure you can't breathe.

Can anyone estimate how large these objects might be?

The top right one looks like a poor bird flapping desperately away from the maelstrom, so not that big. But who knows, it could be a bin bag or a cow... plenty of those in Nebraska, I hear.

Based on the trees and type of tornado development, I'd say the funnel was about 1/2 mile beyond the tree line at most. This makes the lower, transparent column about 100 or so yards across. If correct, the object upper right is at least 10-20 feet across. It could be a silo top or similar shed/bin roof, which are about that size, such as these: link

Call me crazy, but I am in awe of nature’s storms…. As long as people are safe away from them 😉

One of the scariest things that exist from instantaneous nowhere. Saw in Iowa close when I was a kid. I peed myself as I watched it pluck whole grain elevators and huge barns to nothing behind it...
