Ans: Good question....if I recall right...Nov92 started with excess wetness and it just kept raining and raining and raining....the ground was "totally saturated" and the water was channeled to the streets, streams, rivers etc (combined as run off and rain) I m thinking it was around June before it caught up. Next year was similar and 2008 was worse ... 93 was supposed to be a 500yr event....yeah.

Do floods occur a lot in Nebraska?

Throughout recent history, the Missouri River has proven capable of thwarting almost every attempt to control it. The United States Army Corps of Engineers completed six large reservoirs along the "main-stem" of the Missouri in order to try to control floods and provide other benefits. However, as the flood of 1993 illustrates, the Missouri still has the potential for causing major problems. Ice jam, snowmelt, and intense rainfall are all causes of floods which have occurred historically on the Missouri. Ironically, the main-stem reservoirs built in-part to control floods may exacerbate the ice jam problem because low wintertime discharges might facilitate ice formation. Floods along the Missouri River in Nebraska have happened frequently; however, major floods have occurred in 1881, 1943, 1952, 1967, 1978, and 1993. The flood of record occurred in April, 1952.
