Updates on Missouri River Flooding in Metro Omaha


The rising Missouri River is affecting everything from outdoor activities to travel in and around Metro Omaha.


Clicking on this link will take you to an OMAHA WORLD-HERALD story updating what is affected by flooding in their area.


The affected includes AMTRAK trains going though Omaha- those passengers will be bussed a short distance around tracks closed due to temporary levee construction.


Fortunately one of my annual favorites- the College World Series that's set to open in Omaha's new ballpark in the next few weeks- won't be affected by the rising waters...


According to Omaha officials anyway.
