Torrential rains fell across much of the state of Nebraska on Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Officially, 6.65 inches of rain fell at the Lincoln Airport since Wednesday morning, while areas just to the southwest of Lincoln received upwards of nine or ten inches of rain. Street flooding was widespread in Lincoln, especially at Haymarket Park, where Salt Creek overflowed it's banks.
While Hawks Field at Haymarket Park has a drainage system that can pump the water away, there's no place for the water to go until the flooding on Salt Creek recedes.
The problem at Haymarket Park?
