Road Closures Due To Flooding In Fremont, Omaha & Surrounding Areas 2019
Water, Water Everywhere
My son didn’t make it to school yesterday, Thursday, March 14, 2019 because of road closures. He said for his own safety, he decided to turn around and go home. Today is a different story, he has 2 Midterm Exams: Biology and Psychology so he had to go. We were hoping that with the current flooding situation, the school might cancel and re-schedule the exam. Unfortunately, the school didn’t even though e-mails were sent to students that they might evacuate due to flooding.
To relieve the stress of exams and getting there, I volunteered to drive him there. We were ready with 2 cellphones fully charged, one that will direct us to routes to avoid on US Hwy 30 W closures and the other one as a back-up. We left at 9:30 to make sure he gets to his 11:00 class.
We decided to go with US-275 W route via Hwy 30 and Hwy 31 because it make sense rather than going to Blair or Fort Calhoun just to get to Highway 75 where parts were closed as well. We went as far as N 225th Street which was blocked, can’t get to N 230th. We ended up on a Dirt Road. The entrance didn’t looked bad but as we got farther away, it was bad. The area must have been flooded previously and dried out. It was like a driving into a crater. We can’t turn around because it was a narrow road with a long strip of deep holes on the sides where the water must have drained. Aside from that, the GPS didn’t recognize the area. I drove till I found a parking lot to turn around to and go back on the road. As we were getting out of there, other cars were also diverted in that area.
Every route suggested by GPS didn’t work. You can only go up to a certain point; you can't go all the way through. They were blocked by police cars. We chose another route – W Maple Road. Unfortunately, it was blocked as well. It looked more like a lake up ahead. We were on the road for an hour and a half - nowhere close to MidlandU so we decided to go home. Not only did we have to avoid road closures, we had to avoid potholes. With what we went through, it wasn’t worth the drive.

Places to see in ( Minneapolis - USA )
Places to see in ( Minneapolis - USA )Minneapolis is a major city in Minnesota that forms Twin Cities with the neighboring state capital of St. Paul. Bisected by the Mississippi River, it's known for its parks and lakes. Minneapolis is also home to many cultural landmarks like the Walker Art Center, a contemporary art museum, and the adjacent Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, famed for Claes Oldenburg's Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture.
Minneapolis is the biggest and artiest town on the prairie, with all the trimmings of progressive prosperity – swank art museums, rowdy rock clubs, organic and ethnic eateries and edgy theaters. It's always happenin', even in winter. And here's the bonus: folks are attitude-free and the embodiment of 'Minnesota Nice.' Count how many times they tell you to 'Have a great day,' come rain or shine or snow.
Districts of Minneapolis :
Downtown
The central business district, major sports and theater venues, the city's main clubbing area in the Warehouse District, Loring Park, Elliot Park, and the historic mill ruins along the Mississippi.
South
West Bank, Seward, Midtown, Nokomis, Longfellow, and Minnehaha Park
Southwest
Uptown, Lyn-Lake, Linden Hills, Eat Street, and the Chain of Lakes
North
Near North, Camden, Bryn Mawr and Theodore Wirth Park.
Northeast
The birthplace of Minneapolis in Old Saint Anthony, old victorian houses on Nicollet Island, and further north the old working class enclaves of Northeast that are now home to a growing artist community.
Southeast
Dinkytown, Prospect Park, Como, and the University of Minnesota
Towering glass skyscrapers, stunning blue lakes and rivers, tree canopied city streets, premier shopping, state of the art cuisine and entertainment, and a modern transportation network and infrastructure characterize this rapidly growing city and justify its identity as the upper midwest's premier (if not only) metropolis.
Minneapolis was destined to be a center of commerce due to its location at the Falls of St. Anthony, which was named by the French explorer Fr. Louis Hennepin in 1680. St. Anthony Falls is by far the largest source of water power on the Mississippi River. The falls were harnessed to power lumber mills in the 1840s and later for flour milling. By 1870, Minneapolis on the west bank and St. Anthony on the east bank formed the largest flour producing center in the world. In 1872, Minneapolis absorbed its older neighbor. Most of the old St Anthony township is now known as Northeast Minneapolis. A small part of the old township comprises most of the current suburb of St. Anthony

Atlanta - City Video Guide
Atlanta, Georgia, is located near the Southern end of the Appalachian Mountains. It's known as the 'the city in a forest' thanks to its lush canopy of trees.
Most visitors know about the burning of Atlanta during the Civil War thanks to Gone with the Wind. The Atlanta History Center documents Civil War history, and another must-see attraction is the Martin Luther King Junior Historic Site.
Enjoy the green city spaces at Centennial Olympic Park near the city's downtown, or in midtown's Piedmont Park. The best views of all are found at nearby Stone Mountain Park, the world's largest exposed granite monolith.

In the evening, there are vintage emporiums and bars to explore at the diverse Little Five Points neighborhood, while the opulent, 1920s-style Fabulous Fox Theater is a prime example of the elegant architecture and Southern grace that Atlanta is known for.
