Thanks OVM, we are running 90 there. Going to be a rough couple of days. Only have a 2 hour window for delivery. Should hopefully pick up time as we go.
GPS isn't always accurate on the time it takes to get somewhere.

It looks like the flooding is going to be an issue in SD and they have started evacuating.

Flooding to force closure of Interstate 29 near Omaha, DOT says

By Molly MontagWednesday, June 8, 2011 9:04 pm | No Comments Posted


COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa - Part of Interstate 29 will be closed in Council Bluffs due to flooding of the Missouri River.

The Iowa Department of Transportation announced tonight it will close the interstate from 25th Street in north Council Bluffs to the I-29/680 interchange near Loveland, Iowa. The closure will take place in the next 24-48 hours, depending on when the water levels rise.

Officials say they will also close a section of 680 west of I-29 in Iowa due to flooding.

The detour will start at the I-29/680 interchange and go east to the Interstate 80/680 interchange and southwest on I-80 to Council Bluffs. Through traffic between Iowa and Nebraska should use I-80.
