Levee failures south of Omaha ongoing, mandatory evacs by 5pm today. Still rising around Omaha...I'm extremely concerned about the levees around Omaha/Council Bluffs with police patrolling to keep people off them now. New picture of formerly Spencer Dam...

That's all there is left of the Spencer Dam in north-central Nebraska. There's gonna be a big lawsuit over this coming. Someone in 2010 recorded it leaking badly and talked about maintenance being deferred. https://youtu.be/VRP3gFtjem8

Not our region but this is awful to see.
It's been awful watching my hometown area have all this unprecedented flooding unfold so fast.

Thanks man. I hope the levees hold up in Council Bluffs, that's my biggest worry right now (hometown and half my family and most friends live there) since it could put most of the town underwater if one or more burst. I'm not confident they've strengthened them properly after the 2011 floods.
Insane video of boulders of ice all over the road. Unsure exactly where in Nebraska

Flash flood emergency for Platte River due to a major ice jam breaking up, Fremont, Ashland and other cities along it being told to evacuate ASAP. 4-5 foot wall of water. Missouri River going to be near record crest by tomorrow near Omaha. I-29 and 680 closed in/north of Council Bluffs. Bridge likely gone near the Spencer dam and some reports the dam is gone too. Feel so bad for friends and family over there.

Flooding in Nebraska and Iowa, especially Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa, is devastating and it's only going to get worse with gavins point dam going up at least 20,000 cfs by tomorrow for the Missouri River. Interstate 680 shutdown. Friends just outside Logan, IA are basically landlocked. Missouri Valley (town) evacuated and more.

On another note, this storm should get DSM to a new all-time record snowiest February. It's been a remarkable run here since mid January.
Confirmed https://twitter.com/NWSDesMoines/status/1099555523010195462?s=09

There’s a decent chance that central Iowa barely gets advisory criteria snow. These trends don’t look ideal.
Wouldn't be the first time this snow season...

This would make up for the last storm literally going around Des Moines. I highly doubt this'll happen but a man can hope! and then be crushed again

The radar seems to be a fair match for 700 mb f-gen at the moment too. The near term forecasts are for that to increase in place (not really moving north or south too much), so if you're under the band now that's good news.
Definitely increasing around/over Osceola, IA. Northern edge is retreating south a little but southern edge picking up

The cutoff for this is pretty unreal. Has warning criteria in nw portion of my county and nothing se. I'm like in the middle. Lol. This is going to be a nail biter
I've thrown my hands up at guessing for Des Moines with this extreme cutoff. 2" or 20"?

Slice a knife across Des Moines with these totals each run... I'll assume the worst, wouldn't take much going north or south to drastically change amounts IMBY at this rate.
