A tornado-warned storm swept through a front yard in La Grange, Kentucky, on Tuesday, April 2, blowing over garbage cans and sending debris through the air, video shows.

The National Weather Service said severe storms with the potential for tornadoes and “damaging winds” were possible on Tuesday.

Footage captured on a security camera by Mat Slechter shows intense wind and rain lash the front yard of his home.
