Like Kansas City- Omaha has an airport surrounded on 3 sides by the Missouri River.
Unlike Kansas City- Omaha's Eppley Field is that Nebraska city's commercial airline airport.
Storm sewer backups from the rising Missouri have also flooded parking lots at Omaha's new baseball stadium- but the situation is not expectd to greatly affect the College World Series being played there.
Kansas City learned their lesson from the devastating 1951 flood and eventually built a new commercial airport- Kansas City International- which is far larger and safer than the old downtown airport (which is still in use for general aviation) and protected from ANY river floods ...unless Noah returns.
