#1 holysmalokey, morning national news actually found Nebraska.

See a convoy of trucks hauling hay and supplies, give'em a lane, a honk, and a wave - they've been at it for a week unheralded.

#6 Well most of SAC's OFFUTT AFB is under water (You know the place with the hole to fight a nuke war from.) and there is a desperate effort to sandbag Ft. Calhon Nuke Reactor on the Missouri. Of course it's FLY OVER COUNTRY so when the spent core settling/cooling ponds are flooded to overflowing and make the Missouri River radioactive down to Kansas City neither coast nor it's Democratic population could give a damn.
Hell CNN will cheer a radioactive heartland.
