I-90 through Wyoming. Just reopened. Picture taken today.
As many of you have heard.....Montana has been having a little rain. Stillwater, Yellowstone, and just about every other river has overfilled...and many places are flooding. We have nurses from work that also work out at Crow...and they were stranded. They had to evacuate the hospital, and parts of I-90 were washed away. So many houses, and roads, and businesses are flooded. Thankfully Les and I live on the central west end where we are a distance from water. We have watched water pouring off the rims, people sand bagging, and many....many...many basements flooding. As you can see this bottom picture is of Busy Bee cafe in Round up nearly under water. It still hasn't stopped flooding, and they had to evacuate the mine yesterday as they were closing the roads down due to being washed out. We are expected to continue to have rain for the rest of the week which has many people stressed. The snow hasn't even melted in the mountains yet...which will add to the rising of the rivers and lakes. Our roof continues to hold up...but has Les worried. I noticed a baby river running down my fireplace...and Les said it looked like someone dumping a bucket down our chimney. He has been up on the roof or in the attic every day checking for any sign of weekness.
