Omaha Local Pulse: March 13 - Wind Damage, Airport Meeting, and St. Patrick's Prep
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Friday, March 13. We start with breaking news from yesterday afternoon when strong winds toppled a tree onto a power line at Saddle Creek Road and 50th Street, knocking out electricity to businesses like Blue Line Coffee for about an hour. Owner Jess McCallie told 3 News Now they scrambled to find fridge space at nearby spots, and crews faced a cracked pole that slowed repairs, reminding us how weather can hit our daily grind hard.
Those gusts tie into todays weather, which brings partly cloudy skies with winds easing to 15 miles per hour and highs near 55 degrees. Perfect for outdoor plans, though bundle up for the morning chill, and expect the same mild outlook through the weekend.
From city hall, the Omaha Airport Authority posts notice of their March 17 meeting at Metro Community Colleges Fort Omaha Campus on North 30th Street, covering officer elections, a new CLEAR security deal, and a baggage contract award, all boosting traveler convenience at Eppley.
On the cultural front, catch Descendents with Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls tonight, or cheer the UNO Mavericks baseball squad, keeping our music and sports scene buzzing.
New business stays steady with no major openings or closings, but jobs look strong at around 3 percent unemployment, especially in aviation and tech near the airport. Real estate sees median home prices holding at about 285 thousand dollars, with quick sales in Dundee and Aksarben.
Local schools shine as Creighton Prep wins their debate tournament, and Burke Highs girls basketball advances in playoffs.
Crime report from the last day notes a sensitive arrest downtown near 16th and Farnam for a theft ring, with police alerting folks to watch purses at Gene Leahy Mall, but overall quiet streets.
For a feel-good lift, community volunteers cleared debris from Hanscom Park trails after the wind, fostering neighborly chats.
Looking ahead, join the Old Market St. Patricks prep event tomorrow and a job fair at CHI Health Center on Sunday.
