‪#‎TBT‬ From the Omaha World-Herald The Burlington Railroad bridge a few miles east of Columbus, Nebraska, collapsed into the Loup River in March 1960. Rain fell on top of heavy snow run-off to cause flooding across eastern Nebraska. http://ow.ly/KygbF Guess what happens when rain falls on a heavy snowpack?
