Comment on Driving through Nebraska twice nearly broke me. The people who live there must be among the hardest motherfuckers alive.

I’ve driven through Nebraska. I have some family there too. It’s an awful, empty place. Corn and dirt. Occasionally a manufacturer and a walmart. That’s it. It’s like depression manifest.

Most of the population lives in the southeastern corner of the state, in Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska City, and some surrounding counties. I live in Lincoln and it’s a very nice place to live. Western Nebraska is completely different and not many people live there, and most people in the state don’t go there either unless they are driving through.

  How many tornadoes? Is the city progressive?

    Yeah the city is progressive. Tornadoes… Not as much as you would think. There was one last year that hit the outskirts of town a bit. Last one to do any damage before that was like 2017.

    Yeah Lincoln has lucked out compared to Omaha, feels like they’re getting worse every year here I’ve had a couple close calls in recent years that have required us to seek shelter. Power grid has gone out more frequently too. That said I love the city, it’s great for foodies, but driving I-80 through both Iowa and Nebraska I wouldn’t wish on anyone especially if they are at all fatigued, just a whole lot of not much to look at
