GRAND ISLAND, Neb.— The aftermath of seven inches of rain in less than 12 hours is floating down the Grand Island streets.

The Grand Island Mayor, as well as many other members of the flood recovery team joined together at city hall on Thursday for a news conference.

Emergency Management Director Jon Rosenlund says the flood recovery efforts have been smooth.

“I was very proud of what occurred last night,” said Rosenlund. “It’s the type of synergistic relationship between the EOC and 91 center that you want to see.”

But the city's work wasn't enough to save Active Family Chiropractic’s business who experienced major damage to the inside of its Diers Avenue location. The business had about eight inches of standing water on the floors throughout the facility. 

“It’s pretty catastrophic to be very honest. The entire clinic, along with dry wall will have to be removed,” said Director of Operations Jenna Rivera. “Our first step is getting everything electronic lifted out of the water, salvaging computers, servers, x-ray equipment, tables, and therapy units.”

Rivera said the next steps are to transfer equipment to their office on Webb Road.

Police Chief Kevin Denney attributes the quick resolve of flooding to those above him.

“Here in Grand Island, we have exceptional leadership and that really contributed to how quickly we responded to this,” said Denney. “Once the Emergency Operations Center was opened, we contributed people from the police department, with excellent coordination with John Rosenlund and his staff, along with the exceptional police supervisors we have in the field with the officers.”

In the next 24 to 48 hours, Public Works Director Keith Kurz expects all roads to be opened again. 

Denney and Fire Chief Cory Schmidt were happy to report no injuries in relation to the flooding and say they're grateful for citizens listening and staying off of flooded roads.
