Floods following heavy rain and snowmelt kill three people across US Midwest - authorities
The National Weather Service described the flooding as "major" and "historic," forecasting that it would continue across large sections of the middle of the country.
The early damage assessment total for the state of Nebraska was more than $260 million, according to emergency management officials. The state's highway system suffered hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, said Kyle Schneweis, director of the state Department of Transportation, with more than 200 miles of roadways needing repair or replacement. Some 540 miles of highways remained closed, he said, down from 1,500 at the peak of flooding.
Fremont, a city of more than 25,000, was surrounded by floodwaters over the weekend and cut off from aid.
