Extreme Weather in Midwest Brings Massive Floods, Kills 2 in Nebraska
---------------------------------------------------------------------

At least two people have died, with thousands more displaced, as
historic levels of flooding in the Upper Midwest due to heavy rains and
melting snow from last week's "bomb cyclone" led to states of emergency
in the region. Nebraska saw its worst flooding in half a century,
prompting concerns about a nuclear power plant located along the
Missouri River, although authorities say the plant continued to operate
as usual through the weekend.
