Nebraska lawmakers are praising the decision, but pushing for a more permanent solution. "It saves consumers money at the pump and helps us clean up the environment," said Nebraska Sen. Pete Ricketts.

He said he's been through the proposal "line by line" with 12 other Republicans. "The real friction here is how much we're going to cut and where we're cutting," Bacon said.

In two-plus decades of answering emergency phone calls and helping strangers, Douglas County Communications supervisor John Jaeckel doesn't remember anything quite like April 26, 2024. "The one thing that stands out is the call volume," Jaeckel said. "Whenever you're at 911 and working a major event, you can expect a lot of calls to come in. That one was a marathon."Jaeckel remembers the onslaught of calls. People stuck in their homes. Brothers caught in a tornado.

When KETV cameras first saw Jason Sunday, it was April 26, 2024. He was standing in his kitchen with no roof, no exterior walls, and talking to his insurance company. "It's like the movies said - it was like a freight train," he told KETV minutes after the tornado hit. "You knew when the roof was coming off because that was a loud pop and sucking motion."Sunday took us on a tour of his home during the aftermath. Three of his four walls were gone. Debris was everywhere.
