Fremont is pretty much closed off. I'm friends with the owner of Bad Dog Bikes. I should ask how he's doing.
All the hotels in Fremont are full. All the people that drive to Omaha every day are not getting home tonight. Two major dikes in the area have failed this morning. I know lots of people that have evacuated their homes now.
Where do you live?
As a retired Corps of Engineers employee that song came into my a head a lot. Referencing it during flood flights was verboten!
Water has advanced about a mile into Fremont from the Platte river. Will start to hit the downtown area and heavily populated areas next. So far this is the worst since the 1970's.
Thomas Park was turned into Thomas Pond yesterday:
I wonder if it has dropped some by now. Might have to check it out tonight when I am in that area.
Here is the road I need to drive on to get home.

Pretty crazy video from southwest Iowa, I've lived here most of my life and never seen what we're seeing this year. This is in between 1-29 and the Missouri River, a few miles west of Glenwood.
Slept in my office in town for the 2nd night. Hopefully I will be able to get home tonight.
Nothing like what western IA and especially Nebraska are dealing with but CR is now forecast to crest at 18.5'. The inundation map shows that is close to affecting the Newbo area but I am not sure if that has been updated since the newish Sinclair levy was finished.
