Hi all,
I work at Creighton. Details are still sketchy, but this article is the most thorough I've seen:
The fire department finished the hazmat cleanup around 11 am CST and students were allowed to re-enter the building.
The Omaha Scanner Twitter feed updated in real time:

Omaha is currently experiencing blizzard conditions and people are supposed to stay off the roads, so I don't anticipate much more information today.
