Men find ice-cold beers in a field after long hours cleaning up Nebraska flood wreckage
Gayland Stouffer enjoys a cold one after finding the"magic fridge" in the middle of a field. ) By Meagan Flynn Meagan Flynn Morning Mix reporter Email Bio Follow March 21 at 6:30 AM In its life span, the fridge had been through a fire and a flood, but from far away it didn’t look so bad. Just a small black box, lying in the middle of a wet and muddy Nebraska field.
The spontaneous discovery was a moment of levity amid the devastation that has roiled the region following a treacherous “bomb cyclone” that dumped snow, ice and then relentless floods on communities all across the Midwest. The historic storm has caused at least four deaths, killed livestock, destroyed farms and livelihoods and inundated entire communities with icy, murky waters that have only just began receding, leaving farmers and property owners to assess the wreckage.
And then, there were the scorched edges, the real giveaway. The mini fridge, Healy said, had survived a fire that burned down his parents’ house in 2007. The fridge smelled like smoke, and so his parents hauled it off to the family’s summer cabin along the river.“We lost our cabin,” Healy’s Aunt Judy, who owns the cabin along with her husband and Healy’s parents, commented on the Facebook photo.
