The 316 people on six busloads from the Archdiocese of Omaha stayed in Bedford for the night. They planned to evaluate conditions this morning before deciding when to hit the road again. One bus had broken down on the Interstate; travel plans for those passengers were unclear.

A seventh bus for the Omaha Archdiocese, from Norfolk, made it out of the storm in time.

Two buses from the Newman Center on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus, carrying about 80 people from UNL and the University of Nebraska at Kearney, also were planning to stay the night in Bedford.

Buses from the Lincoln Diocese also headed home once they were dug out and the road was cleared.

Two buses from Iowans for Life — with about 110 Iowans from Des Moines, Sioux City, Spirit Lake, Denison and Council Bluffs — were stopping for dinner, then planned to drive through the night to get home. In addition, the Dubuque Telegraph Herald reported that five buses carrying about 250 people from Dubuque County Right to Life, an affiliate of Iowans for Life, were affected. At least one of its buses had begun to move Saturday evening. It was unclear when the group’s other buses would be able to travel, the Telegraph Herald said.
