On March 7, 2014, the US Army Corps of Engineers reported that a repeat of the 2011 flood in the Missouri drainage system would not be an issue this year. Maybe, maybe not, but a few folks might not agree.
Reuters (and many others) are reporting:
Floods
that washed out rural roads in central Montana left hundreds of people
stranded on Monday and forced the evacuation of 30 homes in one small
town, as forecasts predicted more rain and snow that could worsen
conditions in the region.
The flooding, which
saw water begin streaming over rural roadways near the ranching
community of Roundup during the weekend, came as warmer-than-usual
temperatures rapidly melted deep snows amid recent storms that brought
abundant rains, weather forecasters said.
Floods
also threatened to inundate three towns in north-central Wyoming where
vast ice formations blocked the flow of the Bighorn River and caused it
to spill from its banks.
