More than 120 tornadoes swept across Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska this weekend, killing at least five people, the Associated Press reports.
In Wichita, Kan., alone officials predict damages could be as high as $283 million, according to the Associated Press.
Yvonne Tucker, a Wichita resident, told the news source that despite finding shelter from the storm, the aftermath was surreal.
"I didn't think it was that bad until I walked down my street and everything is gone," Tucker said. "I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go. I've seen it on TV, but when it happens to you it is unreal."
