It’s been nearly a week since flooding devastated the town of Natoma in Osborne County. While residents have been cleaning up their homes since Monday, all of the damage from Sunday’s floods have turned places such as the local park into a dumping ground for everything that has been destroyed. “It was devastating, really,” Ronda Hitschman said, looking at her home. All of her salvageable belongings are in her front yard. “It’s overwhelming. It’s totally overwhelming.” Hitschman and her family have been cleaning up their home since Monday, as have other Natoma residents. The locals say that things have been “chaotic” and “eye-opening.” Much of the cleanup has been organized by the people in town, and while that shows how close-knit a community Natoma is, it’s also been very challenging.
