Nebraska flooding

My first concern, of course, is for the people who had to evacuate and for the people who have flooded homes. A second concern is businesses. Valmont's major production facility is close to the Platte between Valley and Fremont. Is that facility closed? I assume it's under water given the location.
Yeah. It looks like from the pics on the Yankton Press and Dakotan website that their trail system is pretty well destroyed. It could be worse. Sounds like there were lots of basement walls that collapsed in Knox county and Niobrara and Verdigree are a mess. It's going to take 100s of millions of dollars and at least a year to recover in Nebraska would be my guess.
I’m pretty sure it has or we’d be hearing all about it from someone out there. Everywhere around there is flooded though.
"WEATHER ALERT! – UPDATE TUESDAY MARCH 19
Farmer Browns will be CLOSED Tuesday, March 19, due to almost all roads into Farmer Brown’s being closed due to river flooding.
We're still dry! But the roads are currently impassable."

So happy I did not buy that 1.5 million dollar lake home out at West Shores now...really dodged a bullet.
At least a little bit of good news coming from the devastating flood in our state..
Thanks for the information.
Nebraska has more miles of river than any other state. Many of the bridges in rural areas are more than 80 years old. With all of this flood damage, I think it is going to mean more people leaving homes and businesses in rural areas, and more roads being closed and abandoned. It's just going to accelerate the urbanization that has been happening for 50 years.
Not to hijack the thread, but this information that Nebraska has the most river miles of any State is flat wrong.
Alaska, Texas, and California many more miles of rivers than Nebraska. That was in a quick search. Probably are ithers as well.

Sorry your information is wrong, Nebraska does have the most miles of streams,creeks and rivers
I believe it also has the 3rd most miles of boring...after Iowa and North Dakota.
Kellogg's is starting to charge people in Fremont who can't leave vacation days. Isn't that nice? Corporate America is so heartless sometimes.
Valmont industries in Valley or closed through at a minimum Thursday. I have heard they are paying there employees through the shut down. Kudos to them.
Fremont can get to Omaha via two different routes now!
That is awesome.. Some companies wouldn’t even think about it because they have their own issues..

Says there Alaska has 365,000 miles of rivers. Nebraska is listed at just under 80,000. A similar google search lists both Texas, and California with significantly more as well.
Just the facts as I read them.
Is the statement "Nebraska has the most miles of rivers" relative to state size? Like the most miles per square mile sort of thing? Alaska, Texas, and California may have more, but maybe not the amount Nebraska has per square mile? Don't know just a thought.
That is my thought too, but to state categorically Nebraska has more is completely innacurate.
I saw this on facebook yesterday, and my bullshit alarm went off immediately. I live in Alaska, and knew that there was no way there were more than here. This State is so large. So I googled it

Nebraska 511 is a great tool. I hope more people will use it...

I think a pissing contest about most rivers is the best thing for the state right now.
No it is true. I heard it several years ago and called BS. Well, I was wrong. Nebraska public television did a series on rivers/waters of Nebraska and said the same thing. IF you can't trust public TV who can you trust?
Hell why do that, now you should have a good excuse to wiz outside, just like San Francisco
Needed that laugh.
If I pissed outdoors in SF, I'd get 4 marriage proposals before I shake.
It has been known to bring the boys to the yard.Just be careful you don't get assistance with your shake
All dabo, but had to do it.
