Seward Walmart blasted by overnight storms

Smashed planters and dirt cover the parking lot, while parts of its sign went flying off

UPDATE, Friday (6/17/22) — After lots of cleanup from Tuesday night’s storm, the Seward Walmart just reopened its doors for the first time in days.

But the store says it only has a very limited selection of perishable food available at this time.

Officials are also thanking everyone for understanding and showing support during this difficult time.

UPDATE, Thursday (6/16/22) — The Seward Walmart will be closing for a second straight day today, after the location suffered storm damage earlier this week.

Officials posted an apology on Facebook, saying they’re still cleaning up the mess left behind.

Right now there’s no estimate as to when the store will reopen.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The Seward Walmart was clobbered by overnight storms.

When Channel 8 crews arrived Wednesday morning, planters were smashed to pieces across the parking lot.

Dirt and the plants themselves were also all over the place.

Parts of the sign above the doorway had been twisted around as well, while some were blown off altogether.

Walmart said the main store would be closed for cleanup on Wednesday, but the pharmacy would open for curbside business at noon.

Our crew saw food being brought in for those workers as they sorted out the big mess left behind.
