Plattsmouth, Nebraska volunteer firefighters survey flooded areas of Offutt Air Force Base prior to the deployment of a spill containment boom March 18, 2019 around the Offutt Air Force Base fuel storage area. The boom was deployed as a precautionary measure following flooding of the southeast portion of the base. An increase in water levels of surrounding rivers and waterways caused by record-setting snowfall over the winter in addition to a large drop in air pressure caused widespread flooding across the state of Nebraska.
