Some interesting info here. Especially how much snowpack has been lost already and how much is left.

Indian Creek is crazy high by 29th and Cottage Grove. I'm sure the sac & fox trail area is way under water.

This is headed for my house in Fremont. Already severe flooding before it gets here.

This is headed for my house in Fremont. Already severe flooding before it gets here.

Worst flooding I have seen in Fremont. Areas I have never seen water in are completely flooded.

The picture in the article is a road about 1/4 mile from the river through the woods on the right. The ice pushed through the woods and is several feet deep on the road. I know several people that live on that road and will not be able to get back to their houses for days.

9:50 p.m. – Four Cedar Bluffs firefighters were out in two airboats near Arlington when one turned and tipped over, then the other turned; both sank. The firefighters were able to get to nearby railroad tracks, where two National Guard helicopters came to their rescue. Council Bluffs Police Department said Council Bluffs firefighters are headed to the area. I have neighbors on the Cedar Bluffs volunteer fire department. Have not had a chance to talk to them yet.

So I have to be at the airport early tomorrow. With Fleur closed from MLK to Bell due to flooding, what's my best alternate route? I'll be leaving from the Waveland Park area.

Fremont is cut off in every direction except the south.

That's what I figured. Just wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas. With this being spring break week for so many schools I'm a little worried that half the world will be headed to the airport on the same route at 4 am tomorrow.

Since you are in Fremont, my suggestion is that you establish your base camp at the Lariat Club. You will have nothing to worry about there if the water rises. There is always plenty of wood to grab onto and float to safety

I would give different advice about living in Fremont. I would mention since you live in Fremont, you should pretty much hate living in huskerland so I would just use that opportunity to get the heck out of that hillbilly haven and move away.

Lariat closed years ago. I live on the bluff on the south side of the Platte. I am 100 feet above the river.

Lariat has been closed for years.

I just heard the Elkhorn River just flooded over Maple by Waterloo. We are supposed to have multiple dry days in a row now. Not going to help much with all the water headed down this way. Too much melt and rain all at the same time. The Missouri is going to get a lot higher before it starts getting lower.

Frost is pulling out in the standing water to help out. Some of the roads that had water over them, bridges also, opened up this morning after closing yesterday.

Thanks for answering my question that was not asked about the Lariat Club. It was one wild joint when it was located downtown.

Back in the 70s there were some great parties on the north side of the river in the cabin area. It is a wonder we did not kill ourselves piloting the air boats after way too many beers.
