Omaha Native Recounts 1975 Weather Events (Winter Blizzard)

January 11th, 2022

OMAHA-Trail runner and retired nurse Deb Bahr had been a nurse for two years the day of the blizzard and worked at the Lutheran hospital near downtown Omaha. Bahr has vivid memories of that day and remembers that it was her responsibility to get to the hospital that day.
