Rain and more rain

[Mike Nolan]

We had another 1.75 inches of rain overnight, giving us well over 7 inches for the month, according to the paper there has been measurable precipitation on 18 of 28 days so far this month.

The first (and hopefully only) wave of tonight's storm missed Lincoln, but surrounding areas weren't so lucky.

Spread the word

We've been having a lot of rain as well, and Monday had severe weather, mostly to our southeast.

At 7:30 this morning we'd had over two inches since 5:00A and there has been much more rain since that time. Many roads are under water and flood warnings are out almost everywhere around for miles.

More storms/rain for later today, tomorrow and Saturday.

Our son lives near and works in St. Louis and they are expecting the second highest flooding in history, just under the worst in 1993. Fourteen feet above flood stage yesterday.

Portions of I-29 between Omaha and Kansas City are closed again. It's difficult to get to KC from Lincoln right now, at least two of the bridges across the Missouri are inaccessible because access roads or on-ramps are flooded if not washed out.

And this may be the new normal.
