According to the Omaha Scanner Twitter feed, the family refused to get on the helicopter. Unbelievable.

Just evacuated my uncle and his family. Buddies at Cedar Creek are getting evacuated. It is crazy out there.
Makes me think of all the idiots in Lincoln that complained about money being spent over the years on the Antelope Valley Project. This included roads and flood control. Not a problem in Lincoln AT ALL.Papio NRD posted a picture of the Papio Creek at 84th in Omaha and I couldn't believe how high it was. Good thing they did all the upgrades they have over the last couple decades, the old way it was it would have been way out of its banks.
Trust me on this one...there is no constructed project that could have addressed the flooding event that happened this past week. This was just unreal.
Flood control is great until there full of water, then the local streams run full for a week, I will say the do a good job even if there full.I think they’re talking about flood control within the cities rather than the areas currently
flooding.
Definitely apocalyptic.... I feel really sorry for Fremont. (an Columbus which I think is about in the same situation as Fremont)..no open roads in or out. I live south of the Platte river off Hwy 77 and am not in the flood zone. However, I will have to go through Ashland to get to work, which will make my trip an hour longer then usual. It will take a long time to recover from this one.
Not sure. Went to outlet mall near Gretna today from Lincoln. Hwy 6 still closed, so I-80 a must. And MAN did the Platte look like a monster. Really high and flowing faster than I can ever remember seeing it.Is water receding at all or still rising, crazy
Yankton SD spent several millions dollars on a flood mitigation project tied to a trail system a decade or so ago.....Well it didn't work for this deal. I've never seen so much water. You could have whitewater rafted in the Dunham parking lot when I drove through there. Water in the mall. Water over highway 81 in town. Water completely filling their high school parking lot. All of the streets flooded around the school. According to the radio they had let school out about 2 hours before the surge hit.Trust me on this one...there is no constructed project that could have addressed the flooding event that happened this past week. This was just unreal.
I tried searching for this (have family in the area) but couldn't find anything. Do you have a link you can share?North Bend has shut down their schools indefinitely....that has to be tricky for high school seniors
If you haven't bought water yet, now is a good time to do so.
both my dad and brother have lost there homes to the flooding
