Ariel footage filmed yesterday (March 18) has revealed the extent of damage flooding has caused in the US state Nebraska

The footage filmed over Omaha through a plane window shows the top of a multi-level highway engulfed by the waters.

Flooding rendered many places in Nebraska unreachable by land as waterways exploded in size after what news outlets call a 'bomb cyclone'.

The flooding has put Nebraska in a state of emergency, with many having to evacuate.
