"This is an example of the loss of wealth Dyson was talking about."

On Interstate 29 north of Council Bluffs in western Iowa, more than 25 vehicles had their windows shattered by hail, Landsvork said.

“They were driving along Interstate 29, had no place to go, and whether they were driving or pulled over, they just didn’t escape the hail,” he said.

The storms caused heavy rain in the Omaha area. Police spokesman James Shade said dozens of residents were evacuated from low-lying homes on the northeast side of the city, where several inches of rain fell in an hour.

“It’s just completely flooded these areas, and these homes are now filling up with water in their basement areas, so we’re pulling people out,” he said.

Police also used boats to assist dozens of drivers stranded in floodwaters around the city. Shade said many cars remain stuck on flooded streets.
