Thank you for those instructions. I have tried that before and had no luck but I am going to try yours. Thanks!

My FB page is public so anyone on FB can see my posts, if any of you are on FB. I know, FB is a cesspool. But it’s a way to keep connected far from home as I am and with my European friends. So no judgment;)

Reporting by Barbara Goldberg in New York and Dan Whitcomb in Los Angeles

Of course no reporting in Omaha or St. Joe or Kansas City. Areas where the flooding will impact.

Thank you!

My girlfriend just updated me this info:

- Q, Center, Dodge and Maple are all out

- We have 14 major bridges out

- We’ve had pilots across the US volunteer to fly people and supplies into and out of Fremont

- They had a police escort through water and terrible terrain to get 8 semi trucks full of supplies to Fremont

- Basically all of Nebraska has been evacuated to Omaha. Air BNB is giving out free housing

- Nebraska has 3 temporary bridges they can use but are trying to find more so they can get some roads open for first responders

- Omaha water is fine. No restrictions, no contamination

Thanks. Glad to see some national coverage picking up.

Have checked in with a gal (lives in Omaha, works in Fremont), who is fine, working from home for at least the next couple days. Said a number of their employees lost everything, have no place to stay.

Also a gal (lives in Fremont, works in Omaha), also fine, at home in Fremont, limited working ability, but some.

Also a person here owns a home at Ginger Cove in Valley, and there are neighbors who say they think everything is fine.

A client living in Ashland: It sounds like they lost everything, hopefully saved their horses. JUST bought a horse trailer 2 weeks ago.

Helicopter pilot voluntarily ferrying LEOs in and out of Waterloo so they can change shifts with some regularity.

A couple friends of my daughter have posted on their FB pages that they will take in people who need places to stay. Bless them.
