Nebraska: 10 Things Shocks of Nebraska

I am a Nebraskan, and I approve this message! ❤️🌽

Nebraska where you experience the 4 seasons in one day

Nebraska only has two seasons Winter and construction

Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo may be the best zoo in the world. It’s certainly world class.

Nothing in Nebraska shocks me I'm a Sixth Generation Nebraskan Thank You for telling everyone Nebraska is not Flat

Everytime I drove through Nebraska, I never missed an opportunity to stop at Runza. I love that place

Nebraska is truly and amazing place to live. But I’m glad it isn’t that super known around the world because it’s nice not to have such a crowded place, very safe and respectful state. ❤️

As a Brit I've adopted Nebraska as my favourite state in the USA. Bought a house in Omaha and travel regularly to Scottsbluff too. As somebody who lives in a country with 2000 people per square kilometer visiting a place with 2 per square kilometer is the antithesis of my crowded island. The sense of space is fantastic. Lovely people too.

I’ve lived in Nebraska for 25 years, they put I80 on/in the most desolate stretch of the state! The real beauty of Nebraska is 30 miles north or south of I80. The Republican river valley, Broken Bow, Big Mac, the Sandhills, Ponca Hill’s, Indian Cave, it is a truly beautiful state, Glad you enjoyed it!

As an exchange student from Finland in 2017 fall term, Omaha was a great experience. Here hockey as the biggest sport, packs about 7-10k people at most in an arena, and seeing a cornhuskers game with 80k people packed in was an amazing experience. People were amazing, friendly, and always curious about why I chose Nebraska as a place for exchange. However, UNO was a great place to stay and study in.

Thank you for the great compliments on our state!!! We love it here glad you enjoyed your visit.

4:17 We call that the "Farmer's Wave". We've made sure to teach all our exchange students about it. You can just wave to people you've never met driving around in town!

Read the history before you drive across NE. The pioneers, the Mormons, the Natives, the buffalo, the lifeline of rivers, the migratory birds, the thunderstorms, that huge sky.

As a person born in Omaha, I love western Nebraska the most. Out in Omaha it's very humid in the summer. I've worked with and befriended people who aren't used to to Nebraska's hot summers AND cold winters. Some of the African people I work with say they like Nebraska in the summer because it's like home for them, but they dislike the winters because of how cold can they be here. To me I love it, I can go for a walk in a blizzard (mostly because I'm the only person walking, so I can drink as much as I want on my walk. Then later still get warmer weather that I can still drink to, without freezing.) I love Nebraska, I don't know if I'd even trade it for a solar system.

Thank you! As a lifelong Nebraskan, I appreciate your kind words about this state and its people. It has always saddened me that people who have never been here seem to automatically assume there is nothing here worth seeing and experiencing. Maybe now, with your help, that will change. Thanks again!

I grew up in Nebraska, went to the service came back and worked for a great company back in those days. Moved away to get out of the weather but I can truly say you’ll never know Nebraska until you get off of I-80 and drive on state & country roads. Visit the little towns and enjoy the mom & pop cafes, talk with the locals ~ then you’ll know Nebraska and Nebraskans. You’ll never find better people to work with or for!!!!

I've driven my cycle all across the US. Although I'm NOT from Nebraska...one of my favorite places (in the entire country) to ride are in the Sand Hills that stretch for 100's of miles in Central/Northwest Nebraska (Highway 2). It's absolutely beautiful!! Massive rolling hills, bluffs/canyons, wildlife, no traffic (can go long distances without passing another vehicle), and I love the small cowboy type towns. It's like stepping back in-time!! Honestly, one of the best kept secrets in the US.....shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone!!

I was literally so shocked to see that bluff. As an English person all I had ever seen of Nebraska was corn fields. Great state!

I am a native Missourian, but have never felt more at home anywhere than in Nebraska.

Glad you liked it here. Thank you for shedding a light on our forgotten state. 🖤
