NORTH PLATTE – The flood waters are getting worse in Cody Park, which expects to get hit hard as the water swells to above eight feet over the weekend. According to the National Weather Service, once the river’s flood stage reaches 7.8 feet, widespread flooding will begin to occur at Cody Park as flood waters from the boat ramp cross the paved access road along the northwest edge of the park and flood portions of the park.

The following video is from Thursday June 2, and shows how close the water is to the road.
