| As soon as I left for NM its stats raining in Montana and flooding. In laws basement in Columbus is flooded and my buddies ranch in Abasarokee is flooding. Anyone having issues or is everything ok? |
ling in the yard. Sick of the rain!

Aunt's ranch had water running over the roads on both sides. Her calving grounds are under water but she was done. Other relatives are watching the river and lakes to see if they will flood. So far it's not as bad as 67 yet per one relative. They all are having hard time with planting. |

GF is looking allright still.... i could see where a few neighborhoods could be under water but i am looking alright! places outside of town are going to be in some trouble! this is some bad stuff.
spring wheat is going to be crap this year. (if they even get it in the ground) there are lots of farmers that depend on this as their only crop. i firmly believe that food prices will be going up. |

Other than being a little soggy, we are fine up here in the pass. The creek is running pretty high, the Missouri is going pretty good, and so is the Dearborn. I have seem them all worse than this, and our 6 bridges to get out of here are holding. I do notice lots of activity checking flows and such each day by the state though. -Corn |

Water was running over I90 just West of Greycliff when I went on a service call to Bozo-Ville & Livingston.
I spent 45 minutes creeping along at 3-4 MPH in a loooooong line of traffic on the way back to Billings. The RR tracks had several places where the tracks had been washed-out. Sad indeed. The Ol' Crew Chief |

clark fork in missoula now above 10ft, flood stage.
western missoula, orchard homes area, not happy campers predicting it will hit 11.2 in the next day or so have a friend moving from VA to WA right now dodging tornadoes and hail in the midwest she wasn't too happy when i told her she might want to take I-80 as I-90 is a bit soggy.... |

Just got a call from a buddy. They have been filling and placing sandbags around the historical cabin out at pompeys pillar and the interpretive center. I guess the water finally made it up high enough to flood them out. My Son used to work down there until He got His job at KULR-8. I'll bet He's happier making commercials indoors rather than filling sand bags in the rain! The Ol' Crew Chief |

Sister told me about the Busy Bee being under water up to the roof also seen it on the news. Low places around Roundup are flooded. Still not as bad as 67 yet but will see what the weekend has in-store. There calling for some of the worst days hitting around sunday/ monday. |

Relative also says this is now worse than 67. Trying to find pic's of the family homestead. Lower part is right by the river but the main house is way above flood plain. |
Well the all important Budweiser truck made it into Roundup today.   Water has gone down over a foot but it's suppose to rain heavy at times again. They tried to get a pump into town by helo but it was to windy. All they had to do was drive it in,fly it in by plane or over by boat. |

Quoted: Damn. This is only going to get worse when the snow fall starts to melt. I have not made it up to roundup since I got back but I am sure Ill be going up there soon.. You'll have to go around as the bridge is under again. Guy in Ryegate lost some cows when the flood water hit and took them over a cliff.  Plus the little store flooded out and the town helped the owner clean up. Many county roads are out again. Aunt's and Uncle's were coming up for Uncle/Aunts 50th wedding anniversary but have canceled the trip do too more flooding/rain. They want to be able to hay if it gets nice. At least the water table is getting filled up. At least it's not burning all the beetle kill. |
