News flash.

Levee breaks north of Brownville

FYI - That levee is upriver from the Cooper Nuclear Station. Looks like it was the eastern bank of the Missouri that has busted out. They have evacuated three Missouri counties. Have no idea what this will mean to the water levels at Cooper.

They evacuated three Missouri towns (Phelps City, Langdon and Watson). Not counties. Sorry about that.

Some good early news about the levee break.

Levee fails, but Brownville OK

A Missouri River levee three miles north of Brownville, Neb., failed Thursday night, triggering evacuations in Atchison County, Mo.

According to early assessments, the breach posed no threat to the Cooper Nuclear Station near Brownville.

The breach, which came about 9:20 p.m., “will not affect the city of Brownville,” said Renee Critser, the Nemaha County emergency manager.

“Have no idea what this will mean to the water levels at Cooper.”

No effect on the plant I have read today.
