Went to town today and took the bottom road, heres some pictures straight East from my place.

All of these are from the road aprox a mile west of the river.

JD likes to drive. ;D

Talked to a Corp dude today and he said the river came up another 6" last night,,,,more to come.

Oh MAN!!!

Are there more storms headed your way?

OU812 · June 11, 2011, 08:15:36 AM

No more storms but allot more water coming from up river.

All this water is coming from Galvins Point Dam.

There realeasing over 150,000 square feet per second down on us.

One square foot of water is 7.8 gal,,,,,, thats 117,0000 gal per second coming our way.

And more to come!

The worst part about it is. All that water is heading for the same place that is now just recovering from the flooding from earlier this spring.

beefmann · June 11, 2011, 08:55:28 AM

that is a lot of water and a muddy mess

Man what a shame. :(

And it's only going to get worse
Montana and parts of Wyoming got more rain in the last month than they usually get in a year
It all flows into the 'Mighty Mo'
We were in Yellowstone a couple weeks ago and the higher elevations got two feet of snow while we were there.

I'm thinking the worst part is the thousands and thousands of acres of already planted crop land under water with more to come.

The trickle affect will affect us all at the store.

Yep! A lot of farm land has been hit hard. Some of which it is said it will take a generation for crops to grow on it again. It's a mess!
