The Nemaha County Sheriff's office sent out a text alert around 3:00 Friday morning reporting a mandatory evacuation had been ordered of a trailer park on the southeast edge of the community on Snake Road.
County Emergency Management Director Russel Lierz told MSC News that about ten residents were forced to evacuate their homes due to rising flood waters.
He said the Nemaha County Community Building in Seneca was opened for anyone displaced by the storms who didn't have a place to go. The American Red Cross responded to provide assistance.
Lierz said shortly before 9:00 Friday morning that the flood waters were beginning to recede and some displaced homeowners were returning to their homes.
He thanked the Seneca Police Department, Seneca Fire Department and Nemaha County Sheriff's Department for their assistance during the evacuation.
The National Weather Service had issued a flash flood warning around 11:30 Thursday night for Nemaha County after thunderstorms moving through the counties dropped several inches rain. The warning was in effect until 3:30 Friday morning.
More showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast through Saturday.
