Why isn’t there wall to wall coverage of the Nebraska floods?

If this was DC or NY, it would quite literally be 24/7 coverage for days.
Populated areas of Nebraska and Offutt AFB are underwater, but sorry we have to cover George Conway’s palace intrigue!

There are no minorities in Nebraska to exploit for race baiting purposes.

Its flyover country and no cities anyone cares about like New Orleans. The Baton Rouge flood didn't get much national attention either.

Pretty much all there is to it...

I wasn't even aware until two days ago.
Posted on 3/19/19 at 11:28 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
I’m not even aware now.

Because catastrophic weather is becoming commonplace.

It's called farm land in a flood zone. It's nothing new. Nest week it will be the Mississippi. Not the first time nor will it be the last. Buy a house in a flood zone, buy flood insurance.

Floods are a slow moving disaster. Not a lot of dramatic television to make from it unless millions are impacted. BR floods impacted more people and it looks days to get any traction too.
The sad thing is this is just the start. Dakotas, W Nebraska, Minnesota have theirs coming in the next month.

Not at all. Just more media coverage. Floods along these rivers aren't rare
Just because we give winter storms cute names now doesn't mean anything

The river has been flooding since it's birth. It's what it does

Being from the MS gulf coast this is true. People are legitimately surprised they didn't know MS got 20 feet of surge or more across it when I tell them. If you weren't paying much attention, you wouldn't have known. It's like how there isn't 10 threads on this Nebraska flood on the OT right now.

No different to me than building where wildfires occur frequently

Seeing records smashed by 4-5 feet in places. This sort of flood is rare.
Deep snowpack that hadn't melt as a big storm formed up on the front range (a typical spot for these strong systems to form up) and pulled up the gulf air to dump heavy rain on all the snow.
Big melt all at once. Ground still frozen. Similar late snowmelts are a typical recipe for big floods up there.

This. We had several feet of snow on the ground across the state, followed by 60 degree days with several inches of rain. Ground was frozen underneath the snowpack and can’t soak anything in. It’s a disaster. Supplies were being airboated or helicoptered into town the past 6 days. One road to the metro finally opened up today

How many time in the past have we seen low land get flooded. It's nothing new.
Posted on 3/20/19 at 12:15 am to jessieventura9
60% of counties flooded in the state is pretty damn rare. The other 40% had a blizzard dumping 12-18 inches that hasn’t melted yet
