Temp levee built to protect the plant I work at from highest flood water since '52 (photos)

[Omaha Steve]

Half of my plant was built outside the Omaha levee system.

1. Hang in there Steve.

I just came back from South Dakota. Unfortunately, there is more water coming.

2. The photos of people wrapping their homes in plastic and moving everything out is sad..

Is there a time frame for when the worst will be over in this community?

3. Hope it works

because if the "waste water" treatment facility goes down will get very stink, very fast.

Or, to put it another way the sh*t will hit the river

4. Sioux City, Plattsmouth, ...

Several cities have treatment plants that aren't functioning already. Mo River (my plant) has shut down it's South inlet because it is under water. That means the dirtiest water (meat packing and industry) is not getting treated. That is about 6 million gallons a day going straight into the river.
