The biggest areas of concern right now are in Nebraska and Iowa. Mixed in with all the flooding was heavy snow. In Norfolk, Nebraska portions of Highway 81 were submerged due to flooding from the Elkhart River.
Nebraska State Police say rescuers worked around the clock pulling people to safety. Thousands of drivers were trapped on roadsides. People were also trapped in their homes by rising waters.

On top of the snow and flooding, high winds were a concern. Enough to topple this huge billboard in North Dakota.

The concern right now for farmers is the possible loss of life following the storm, this all happening in the middle of calving season. Many producers are concerned that many calves either drowned or froze to death.
Dale Jessie Vocu in Kyle, South Dakota shared a video on Facebook. It shows several members of one ranch, hand-shoveling to get to their calves. She says they saved six head of cattle.
In another case, a State Trooper in Nebraska was able to rescue a calf that was frozen to the ground near Sidney, Nebraska.
