Spring Flooding

[throwittoblythe]

I don't mean to be insensitive to the folks in Nebraska, but this time of year always has this song in my head...

Have a guy I work with in Arkansas that has been getting pounded with rain every 3-5 days. He told me that the Mississippi is currently at it's fifth highest level on record in Memphis. Thinking of all the snowpack north of there does not bode well for people in the south. Sand bags will be at a premium!!

I'd tell him to go inside. Less rain pounds you that way.

Fremont is cut off in every direction except the south.

They closed the bridge going south on 77 and now I can't get home.

They now have closed the last open highway to Omaha.

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?

I'm in Omaha so all I have to worry about is craters potholes

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
