Description

Flooding and heavier water flows have forced the closure of bridge crossings of the Missouri River from just south of Omaha for more than 100 miles south. More bridges and railroad lines may have to close as flooding continues.

North of Omaha, the Fort Calhoun nuclear power station remains shut due to Missouri River flooding, but protected by temporary flood barriers and dry, said Mike Jones a spokesman for the Omaha Public Power District.
