OmahaSnowFan Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I-29 closed from just south of Omaha to the Missouri state line. Nebraska City along I-29 has set a record flood stage. Some of us Nebraska folks might be familiar with the truck stop along the interstate at the exit for N. City and inside they have pictures from 2011 where all you could see was the roof of the building. This flood is 2-3 feet higher 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
