The deadly flooding in Nebraska has broken records throughout the state. About 9 million people in 14 states along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers are under a flood warning.
About 9 million people in 14 states along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers are under a flood warning, according to CNN meteorologist Karen Maginnis. Some of the records go as far back as 1960 and some are as recent as 2011, according to a press release from the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency, or NEMA. The majority of the records NEMA listed involved the Missouri River, which crested between 30 and 47.
— NWS Omaha March 17, 2019 CNN meteorologist Robert Shackelford said the water left by the bomb cyclone goes into streams and then rivers, causing the cresting and flooding. "Just because it stops raining doesn't mean rivers will stop cresting," Shackelford said."Rivers can crest days later." Shackelford and Maginnis said flood risks will be high throughout the week in the Midwest and that river crests won't stop until the weekend.
