Never Mind -- US Army Corps Of Engineers

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.
