I recall staying by the river at a Hampton in Council Bluffs.
It was on the river, I wonder how it is doing.
Even “More” flooding expected for devastated U.S. plains states.....
Water levels were expected to rise through the week, according to the National Weather Service, prompting evacuations in communities along the Missouri River on the Nebraska and Iowa border, as well as the Elkhorn and Platte rivers in Nebraska.
“We’re looking at widespread flooding that continues until at least early next week in the Plains and Midwest region,” said meteorologist Marc Chenard with the service’s Weather Prediction Center.
“The big ones are at record stages right now,” Chenard said. “There have been some levy breaks so there are towns that are flooded.”
Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts, who declared a statewide emergency last week, wrote on Twitter that he witnessed “unbelievable devastation” when he visited several flooded communities on Saturday.

We should all be concerned, not just for their loss of homes/businesses etc....but a lot of the acreage is farmland and cattle land....not to mention the wildlife affected.
It’s truly terrible...
