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!!
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.They closed the bridge going south on 77 and now I can't get home.
Fremont is pretty much closed off. I'm friends with the owner of Bad Dog Bikes. I should ask how he's doing.

I'm in Omaha so all I have to worry about isAll 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?

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:

Slept in my office in town for the 2nd night. Hopefully I will be able to get home tonight.
