‘It’s not normal’: Fremont faces another round of hail damage following Monday’s stormFREMONT, Neb. Hail stones the size of golf balls slammed into Fremont once again, leaving a trail of devastating damage. Longtime Fremont native Dave Lincoln said workers were replacing the roof of Mel’s Diner from the last storm, only to come to work Tuesday to find the restaurant flooded. “It was about 2 o’clock, I hear the wind blowing so I’m running into the living room,” he said. And after living in Fremont for so long, he said these unexpected storms seem to come with a force.
