Devastating storm destroys Omaha bridge spans
The Omaha Herald reports a unprecedented Saturday storm struck the Missouri river bridge linking Omaha and Council Bluffs. A lightning and wind siege toppled two spans, lifting tons of iron into the river, with pier damage and telegraph disruptions. Rescue efforts, repairs, and ferry crossings followed as the city faced a costly, months‑long reconstruction. John Pierson, guard on the east end, narrowly escaped and is praised for bravery. The Union Pacific bridge, about 2750 feet long and built for roughly $2.6 million, will require substantial funds and three months to rebuild, with widespread business impact anticipated.
