I-29 to Omaha is apparently closed from flooding
https://www.kq2.com/content/news/Flo...507212831.html
Flooding has forced more evacuations in northwest Missouri. The Atchison County Commission issued an immediate mandatory evacuation Friday for areas west of I-29 due to the threat flooding. The Missouri River at Brownville, NE is approaching record levels. As of Friday afternoon, the river is at 44.49 feet just shy of the record crest of 44.8 set in 2011. The river is expected to crest at 48 feet on Sunday. Near-record level flooding has also forced the shutdown of I-29 at the Missouri/Iowa border. Interstate 29 at Rock Port exit 110 is closed due to flooding in Iowa. The Missouri Department of Transportation said drivers wanting to use I-29 northbound should use I-35 and then I-80 into Iowa. |

Lots of back roads in central Nebraska under water. I watched a drone video of the Elkhorn being real angry, parts of US 275 and others in the area may need to be completely rebuilt.
It sounds like my favorite truck stop at exit 10 in Iowa is going to be flooded again. My heart goes out to all those affected. |

Damn, is this worse than 2011? My band played NZoners May Fest in St. Joe that year and had to drive down on 29 from Omaha. It wasn't close, but the water was everywhere...
I live in Papillion, and the creek is high, but no real flooding around me, I've been able to get around. I actually need to go into Glennwood today (across the river) and I guess I'll have to take hwy 275 south instead of I29... |

My cousin is a spray pilot in Wahoo NE and apparently they wanted ash spread over the rivers to promote thawing.
Well I guess it worked and he thinks that’s a big reason the ice chunks broke loose and waxed all the bridges when the rains came. I don’t know how much it had to do with it but he says it’s pretty horrifying. The big thing is logistically everything is a nightmare. |

Really sad to lose livestock to floods. What a giant mess. I hope Agent Orange doesn't show up, sign a few bibles and leave. That helps nothing.

Damned if he does, damned if he don't. If he doesn't show people will say he doesn't give a shit, if he does people like you says it doesn't help. I honestly don't understand the hatred. You may not agree with his politics but every president before him has went to national disasters big and small to show support and empathy from the whole country and pledge assistance.

I was in NWMO this weekend for my stepbrother's funeral and talked with a lot of family friends about their farms. My farms are up in the bluffs so for once I am happy to have the lower valued land. Some of our friends lost equipment, but it was hard to have sympathy for them since they have known for a few weeks that this was likely, and then they were given a 2-day notice of forced evac, but they still waited until the last day to try and move shit. Knowing one family's history leads me to think this is a great way for them to get a fat insurance check and some new equipment. If you ain't cheatin' you ain't trying. |

Got an email from our Lincoln office that the city is under a water use restriction. Nothing from our Omaha office so far.
Businesses need to reduce water use by 25% while residents need to cut use to 50%. Restaurants are only supposed to serve water upon request and use disposable place settings to reduce dish washing. Lawn watering and car washing is prohibited. |
