Localized flash flooding has
impacted Logan County these post-Christmas
days. On Monday drivers were once again cautioned about flooding on
country
roadways.

To Lincoln west, drainage water filled
ditches. At the Kroger/Big R parking lot water channeled to lift
stations to the north side of Route 10/Woodlawn Road reached near
limits over the noon hour on Monday. |

|
On Lincoln's north side at Nicholson Road and Lincoln Parkway,
Brainard's branch which channels field water run-off to Kickapoo
Creek was reaching full capacity over the noon hour also. |
|
Back waters created by Kickapoo Creek
breeching its banks threaten 1250th Ave. north of Lincoln. |
|
Fields that flooded earlier this year north of
Kickapoo Creek between Nicholson Rd. and old 121, once again had
wide spread flooding. |
|
This area along 1900 Street was close but
remained clear, but field to field flooding created dangerous road
conditions where roads were covered with water throughout the area. |

|
Kickapoo Creek was well out of its banks on
Monday. Larger rivers that the Kickapoo and other area rivers feed
into, such as the Mississippi, are expected to reach peak on New
Year's Eve, Thursday, and are forecasted to reach major flood
levels. |
