Flooding that killed three people in Nebraska and Iowa has cut roads to a nuclear power plant and inundated a significant portion of a major U.S. Air Force base, while more of region’s residents faced the possibility of evacuation on March 18.
The floods, which prompted each state’s governor to declare a state of emergency, are the result of last week’s “bomb cyclone” winter storm, which blew in from the western Rocky Mountains. At least one person was missing after hundreds of weekend rescues.
