The powerful late winter storm, dubbed a"bomb cyclone" by meteorologists, left blizzards, floods and tornadoes in its wake after hitting the U.S. Mountain and Plains states this week, before pushing east into the Midwest and the Great Lakes Region early Friday.
Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts also issued an emergency declaration. There were many impassable bridges and roads from rain swollen rivers and dam breaches, prompting thousands of residents to evacuate in Nebraska, the Lincoln Journal Star reported. Meteorologists referred to the storm as a bomb cyclone, a winter hurricane that forms when the barometric pressure drops 24 millibars in 24 hours.
