The Ericson Dam, as well as a nuclear plant, was almost destroyed by the huge midwest flood.

From time to time mother nature is fighting back with rage and this is normal in my view, especially when we disrespect her.

Recent heavy rain combined with snow melting has brought havoc on the midwest of the United States resulting in loss of human lives, unfortunately.

A farmer from Nebraska has lost his wife in this apocalyptic flood and 30% of the residents of Norfolk have been evacuated this Thursday. The situation got worse by the fact that a dam, and a nuclear plant, have been affected by this unprecedented flood.

Is The Ericson Dam in imminent collapse?

The Ericson Dam barely could contain the rise of the Cedar River. An official staffer from the dam said that the dam is no more safe, under these heavy weather conditions and is in danger of imminent failure. The officials advise everybody to move immediately on higher ground. Please check the weather reports for the latest updates.

Nuclear Plant in danger.

Missouri River was also affected by the heavy rain and is also rising. The Copper Nuclear Station which is near the river is being shielded with sandbags as a precautionary measure in case the river is swelling and reversing toward the plant.

If Missouri River will reach a level of 45.5 feet (as is being predicted) the Nuclear Power Station will have to be shut down, said Mark Becker, the official spokesman of The Nebraska Public Power District.

Thursday, another small electric plant from DPPD grid has been shut down when Spencer Dam just failed and could not keep the flood of the Niobrara River when a huge ice foe made a hole in the Building.

The flood took its first toll.

A farmer just wanted to help his neighbor to shelter and he was washed away by the flood when he tried to free a car that got under a tractor.

The car has been released from the tractor but has been taken with the farmer by the flood. We don’t know the name of the dead farmer yet.

Evacuations have begun south of Omaha Avenue. Residents in the area from 7th St E. to Victory Rd and Eisenhower S. to the Elkhorn River are strongly encouraged to seek higher ground. It is vital that you DO NOT drive through standing or rushing water. Questions call: 402-844-2241 pic.twitter.com/DUtvhTvext — City of Norfolk, NE (@NorfolkNE) March 14, 2019
