SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) – Only minimal damage is reported in Sidney after a storm dumped over 2 inches of rain in less than an hour. KNEB radio in Scottsbluff  says Monday
afternoon’s downpour overwhelmed the storm water drainage system for a bit and some roads had to be barricaded, but no one was hurt. City Manager Gary Person says the east side of town received the most rain, but unlike earlier storms this summer, there was no hail. There were also reports of heavy rain on Monday in the Lodgepole area and north of Bayard.
