Missouri River Flooding

Yesterday, I left Nebraska City, NE, and traveled east on Highway #2 across the Missouri River. About one and a half miles east of the main channel of the river, and not far from I-29, the right lane of the highway was closed due to flood waters. It is expected that by Friday, the entire highway will be under water and closed to traffic. Just past this section of highway, the gas stations are preparing to shut down. One had already pulled its pumps from the tanks. This is all before the Corps of Engineers was going to release more water behind the dams in South Dakota.
Now I am in Sioux Falls, SD.
Warmest regards, Gus
