- Powerful thunderstorms rolled through the southern panhandle early Tuesday morning, leaving behind a trail of intense lightning and a close call near Sidney.
Just after 4:00 a.m., the Sidney Volunteer Fire Department rushed to the intersection of County Roads 109 and 28, where a bolt of lightning had sparked a fire in an oil-filled tank.
Thanks to a quick-thinking local operator on scene, the system was safely shut down before crews arrived. Firefighters used specialized foam to extinguish the blaze, spending nearly an hour and a half cooling the tanks.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

- Fireworks aficionados in Gering will have a little more than half as many days as previous years to set off their pyrotechnics.
The issue of banning or limiting the use of fireworks came before the council again Monday evening, needing a supermajority of six to change the city’s related ordinance and waive three readings so it could take effect immediately.
The city’s Public Safety Committee, comprised of several council members, had recommended that fireworks discharge this year be limited to seven days, but that was too much for some members of the body, as the vote to change the ordinance failed on a 4 to 3 vote, with Rebecca Shields, Julie Morrison, James Jackson in dissent.
That was followed by a motion to approve a five-day window, but that effort also failed 4 to 3, with Michael Gillen, BJ Kinsey and Susan Wiedeman voting against it.
The council then settled on a six-day compromise fo June 29 through July 4, with th...

- Flash flooding Monday night triggered emergency rescues and major road closures in Morrill County.
Bayard Fire Chief Michael Harimon tells KNEB News that emergency crews executed multiple water rescues and evacuations overnight, though many residents chose to shelter in place.
The damage to infrastructure is severe. Highway L62-A is closed until further notice from Moomaw’s Corner to Highway 385. Officials say roads and bridges both north and south of the highway are either completely washed away or impassable.
Drivers are urged not to rely on cell phone GPS maps, which are routing people onto washed-out county roads, leaving multiple drivers stranded. If you must travel, the only safe detour is south through Bayard to Bridgeport, then back up Highway 385.
Assessment of all damage is ongoing and they should have more information later today.

Speaking at the WNCC Harms Center, Davies said one of his goals is that every single Nebraskan wanting to be a healthcare profession can do so without barriers.
“So we’ve got to make sure the pathways are clear from middle school all the way to the time they become a health care professional. They should not wonder what they need to do to become a nurse or a dental hygienist from middle school. There should be clarity,” said Davies. “And then we should also look where are the needs of some; for some of our students, they can come to Omaha or Lincoln, others want to train close to where they were born and raised. And some of them have to train close to where their their families are because of, you know, commitments, maybe on the farm or maybe they have...

- Before Scooter’s Coffee became one of the fastest-growing coffee brands in America, Don and Linda Eckles spent years chasing opportunities, changing careers, and learning hard lessons along the way.
In Part 1 of this Building Nebraska conversation, the Scooter’s Coffee founders share the remarkable journey that led them from radio broadcasting in Nebraska to life in Alaska, California, and back again. Along the way, they owned restaurants, operated an ice cream wagon, sold door-to-door, and discovered firsthand that experience is often earned the hard way.
The idea that would eventually become Scooter’s Coffee wasn't born in a boardroom. It started when Don noticed a small drive-thru coffee stand in California and recognized something others hadn't yet seen—a business model built around convenience, quality, and customer service.

- Description
- For Nebraska hay producer Austin Rice, the 2026 season is off to a dry start — but recent rains are bringing some optimism.
Near Wilsonville, Rice says SR Farms entered spring after one of the driest winters he can remember, with little snow and limited moisture. Still, timely rains are helping conditions improve as the growing season begins.
SR Farms manages up to 2,000 acres of alfalfa and ships hay across 28 states, with demand rising after recent wildfires across Nebraska and neighboring states.
“We’re happy to get what we can get and hoping this kind of primes the pump for some more,” Rice said.
Despite drought concerns and volatile hay markets, Rice says producers are staying hopeful for strong cuttings ahead.

- The proposal to reconfigure the northern portion of 10th Street in Gering from its current five-lanes including a turn lane to a three-lane roadway with center turn lane and bike lanes had some pushback at the most recent council meeting.
A handful of people spoke out against the idea during public comments last week, all saying it would make the situation worse for motorists.
Among those speaking out was Eric Anderson, who called the plan a horrible idea, and the community deserves better. “After taking the opportunity to purchase the property on 10th Street, to think you want to take two thirds of my traffic away, because you don’t care about where I’m at or what I’m doing, is discouraging from the city of Gering,” said Anderson, “and I hope it gets redressed.”
The proposed project has been submitted for a Safe Streets 4 All grant, where the federal government would pick up 90 percent of the cost for projects receiving awards...

Truthfully, shelter life has been really hard on this big guy. The noise, the constant activity, and the unfamiliar environment just aren’t meant for a soft-hearted cat like Jr. He’s struggling to adjust and would love nothing more than for someone to walk through the doors and finally give him the loving home he’s been waiting for. ❤️
And trust us when we say… his pictures do NOT do him justice. Jr. is a BIG boy — a whopping 17 pounds of pure cuddle potential. 😭 This giant sweetheart would make the perfect lap cat, couch companion, and bedtime snuggle buddy all wrapped into one extra-large package.
He doesn’t need anything fancy. Just a quiet home, some patience, and someone willing to remind him what love feels like again. O...
