A band of 2 to 3 inches of rain fell across the Pebble Creek basin causing it to flood for the second time in around a week. The creek near Scribner reached a crest around 22.3 feet during the afternoon of June 27th, flood stage is 18 feet. The flooding impacted county roads and farmland near the stream.
This is for flooding along the Elkhorn River. The river gage at Winslow, operated by the Nebraska DNR, peaked at 24.14 feet at 1 am on March 14th. Minor flood stage is 17 feet. Major flood stage is 24 feet. Preliminary this is a record crest. The town of Winslow received extensive damage as their levee was easily overtopped. This river gage stopped reporting around 6 am on March 14th. This was likely due to river ice damaging the gage sensor.
Numerous trees were reported downed in the town of Schribner. There was also some outbuildings destroyed. The entire town was without power for some time.
Heavy rainfall caused the Pebble Creek to rise into major flood near the town of Scribner. The flooding necessitated the closing of the flood gates that protect the town of Scribner, which also closes US Highway 275 through town. Outside of town significant low-land flooding was observed which closed numerous county roadways. The river crested at 22.35 ft before quickly falling on the 16t.
Rainfall of a little over 3 inches was reported in the Scribner area. The rain fell in a several hour period and produced flooding along sections of Maple Creek later that day.
Thunderstorm wind gusts estimated at over 60 mph downed numerous tree limbs and a few trees in the Scribner area. The corner of a roof of a chemical building was also severely damaged.
