Flooding

Due to high water levels, the National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for snowmelt.

Gallatin County has received a record amount of snow in the past month for that period of time with the snow containing a near record amount of water.

It's true. It's actually gone. As in, not part of the flowing East Gallatin River anymore due to recent flooding activity. A perfect example of Mother Nature doing whatever she wants.

Authorities close these roads for a reason and these photos illustrate that reason quite vividly.

Due to extremely high water, flood conditions, and associated public safety concerns, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks closed many fishing access sites.

The water has risen several feet since this video was taken on Sunday.

Residents in Gallatin County are encouraged to develop a plan on how they will protect their property in case they are affected by spring flooding.

There is an ice jam on the Gallatin River already causing flooding south of Gallatin Gateway. Flood Warning is in effect until 6pm Sunday night. Details here:

It's been all over the news - Minot, North Dakota is under water. Minot is about an hour and a half away from where I grew up on my family farm, and it's hard to watch from afar as this disaster takes over the area. Facebook, gotta love it - but it also brings you face to face with issues your family and friends are dealing with. Everything from I bet my home is gone, to helping walk doggies kep

This video from Roundup, Montana is from May 27th, but it is still flooded with more on the way.

I just got an update  from the National Weather Service and the outlook is more rain and higher water into next week end.  The Shields River is approximately 1/2 foot below flood stage and is an area of concern at this time.  It appears that we will probably get a considerable amount of rain starting midweek...
