"These levees are saturated. We have the most water on them for the longest period of time we've ever had. This levee gets blown and we saw a several inch rise in the river shortly thereafter, so even a three or four inch pulse coming down the river when we're looking at every half inch as being significant is a fairly big event."

Wilber says the "pulse" of water has passed the Omaha/Council Bluffs area without any reported damage, but he added, the risk to everyone south of the Harrison and Pottawattamie County line was simply too great.
