BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED
Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Hastings NE
1148 PM CDT WED MAR 13 2019

The National Weather Service in Hastings has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Rain and Snowmelt in...
  Greeley County in central Nebraska...
  Nance County in central Nebraska...
  Valley County in central Nebraska...
  Hamilton County in south central Nebraska...
  Buffalo County in south central Nebraska...
  Merrick County in central Nebraska...
  Sherman County in central Nebraska...
  Howard County in central Nebraska...
  Hall County in south central Nebraska...

* Until 745 AM CDT Thursday.

* As of 1145 PM CDT, reports from emergency management and data from
  several automated gauges confirmed that widespread flooding
  ranging in severity from minor to major continued across much of
  the Warning area, and in some places was the worst flooding in
  decades. This flooding is impacting numerous rivers and streams
  and low-lying areas, and many roads, including several highways,
  are closed. As just one example, Highway 68 near Rockville was
  closed due to reports of large ice chunks from the Middle Loup
  River on the road. Although rain will transition to snow
  overnight, an additional one-quarter to one-half inch of liquid
  equivalent precipitation is likely in most places, only worsening
  the ongoing flood situation before all precipitation finally ends
  Thursday. Because flooding will continue to impact so many
  roadways, and because flooding overnight is even more dangerous
  due to limited visibility, this new Flash Flood Warning has been
  issued, and effectively extends and replaces all previously-issued
  Flash Flood Warnings for the same areas.

* Some locations that could experience flooding include...
  Grand Island, Kearney, Ord, Aurora, Central City, Greeley, St.
  Paul, Gibbon, Ravenna, Wood River, Fullerton, Shelton, Loup City,
  Genoa, Elm Creek, Doniphan, Cairo, Alda, Odessa and Spalding,
  along with a multitude of rural areas near these and other
  communities.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

A Flash Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring.
If you are in the warned area move to higher ground immediately.
Residents living along streams and creeks should take immediate
precautions to protect life and property.
