We’re off of 96 & Platteview Road. Lake Olivia, and another lake 1/2 mile away has formed into one large lake. The Platte River is just blocks away So I’m wondering if these lakes have joined into the river. Our place is about a mile uphill. We should be ok, except we’re having problems with our well. This is so sad to watch. So many people are impacted.
We are over near Gretna just south of Tiburon. We just got back from Round the Bend Steakhouse. I have never seen that much water over by Mahoney. The area in between Hwy 6 and the river was half full of water.
Glad you all are up high and I hope your well gets better. It really is a sad deal. I grew up in Beatrice and went through the severe flooding in 1973 when I was in fourth grade. We were up high enough that we didn’t get any water in our house but many of our neighbors did. The big floodwater came within a half a block of us. The power was out for 10 days and we were out of school for a couple of weeks. I just remember how bad it smelled. There were snakes and rats skittering around the neighborhood which was pretty weird. Those people affected have a lot to get through before things get back to normal.
