Awful flooding in eastern Nebraska
June 16, 2010

Eastern Iowa has been dealing with flash flooding this week, and now eastern Nebraska is being hit with major flooding as well. Norfolk has been hit by major flooding, resulting in mandatory evacuations and at least one bridge collapse. We've heard from Todd Boling, the water pollution control plant manager at Norfolk, that the Elkhorn River there exceeded the previous record flood stage from 1949 by more than a foot. We of course offer our best wishes to those who are affected by the flooding and who are working tirelessly to keep their communities safe from disaster. We have been advised that at least one community downstream has been using some of our portable flood-control pumps to pump seepage back over their levees.
