Two feet of snow cover over much of Nebraska set the stage for disaster when warm tem- peratures, heavy rain and 75-mile-per-hour winds heaved themselves upon the Cornhusker state. Additional misery immediately followed with blizzard conditions and freezing temps in north, central and western parts. The snowiest February in recorded Nebraska history kick started into record snowmelt on March 14 with 60-degree temperatures and torrential rain. A convergence of creeks and major rivers in eastern Nebraska began an enormous draining process, with water streaming in from South Dakota as well as central Nebraska. Ice floes the size of pickups tumbled down rivers, destroying everything in their paths. Several major Nebraska and South Dakota dams were breeched or completely destroyed by March 15. One family’s story Many people in Fremont have jobs and do business in nearby Omaha. Successfully facing most of the bad weather earlier in the week, folks finally found themselves beaten by Mother Nature on Friday noon, when roads leading into Nebraska’s largest town began to flood. Finding themselves trapped, few were able to find their way home to Fremont. By Friday evening, Fremont itself was surrounded by water. The Rheas were also in Omaha. They, however, were aggressive enough and fortunate enough to have made it out of town by seeking alternates routes home. Being confined to his residence did not sit well with the senior Rhea; Bill describes the situation as being under “house arrest.” The only means in and out of Fremont for several days thereafter were by boat or helicopter. ‘ It Came Fast and It Changed Fast’ By Patti Wilson Contributing Editor Continued on page 8  – Bill Rhea, Fremont, Neb. Flood waters poured down Mud Creek east of Broken Bow, inundating fields and pastures as far east as Grand Island. INSET: Fremont area damage was exacerbated by ice. COVER STORY: AFTER THE STORM
