THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN OMAHA, NE HAS ISSUED A
* FLOOD ADVISORY FOR
  THE EAST NISHNABOTNA RIVER AT RED OAK.
* UNTIL TUESDAY EVENING.
* AT  815 PM MONDAY THE STAGE WAS 17.2 FEET.
* FLOOD STAGE IS 18.0 FEET.
* FORECAST...THE RIVER WILL RISE TO NEAR 17.9 FEET EARLY TUESDAY
  MORNING.
* IMPACT...AT 18.0 FEET...RURAL LOWLANDS BEGIN TO FLOOD ALONG THE
  EAST BANK.

Heavy rains, flooding and high winds caused a bit of damage Monday morning.  Storms packing winds of up to 70 miles per hour were reported in a number of locations.  The heavy rains have caused some low-lying areas that were already threatened by recent rains to swell as creeks and streams couldn’t hold the added water.  Flooding at the Atlantic little league complex caused a problem for those who park their cars in the lot and commute to the Menard’s Shipping Warehouse at Shelby.  You can see in the picture that people are trying to get to some of the cars in waist-deep water to move them out of harms way.  High winds were reported in several locations….58 mph at the Atlantic airport, 60 mph in Audubon and 75 mph in Harlan.  The winds caused considerable tree damage.  There was a report of a barn blown over north of Atlantic and a semi blown on its side on Highway 141 in Greene county.
