I got water all around me, but nothing on my property...yet. Some of my neighbors have had their driveways washed out. East Helena looks like a mess. My kids' school has a huge runoff right by it. Some water on the school grounds.

I'm at the auto shop right now with some sort of electrical issue. Might need a new car.

Worst of all my mother-in-law is sick, so she can't get kicks today.

No skiing for me today!

Cripes!

Sounds like it's everywhere. We have a small amount coming in our basement in Lewistown. I just finished reading an article about downtown Manhattan and Amsterdam. We need the ground to thaw so all this moisture doesn't just run away.

I was up until a little after midnight sandbagging. We got hit pretty hard around 9 pm. Water is going over McHugh, Mill, Ronda and Forrestvalle. I know of a few house that have flooded basements. With the ground frozen still, there is just no where for this water to go but down hill, and there is a ton of snow up the 10 mile drainage (Rimini). Today could get interesting.

How are the roads? Heading through there today about 4.

Roads are good except around town.

Yea, Amsterdam is bad. We just got back from Manhattan. Main street under 14" of water.

All is well in my neighborhood. Helena was graced with good cloud cover and some wind to keep things in check. Sounds bad elsewhere around the state. Hope everyone makes out OK.

That's just crazy. One freaking foot of water on top of a road...

I feel your pain. We had four straight days of rain (or at least I think that is what it is called) last week. First rain in about 5-6 months. Sun is back out and normal life has returned in paradise!

Is this water you have from a storm or run=off from a early spring heat wave?

Can't say I miss it

We've had a brush with a cyclone (very interesting!) and just a plain old rain event. Both netted ~6.5" of rain in a day but nice sandy soil left us high and dry. Some roads and low lying areas had flooding.

You mean over the spill way? If it does, I've gotta get up there and see that!

Or in the early 90s when they blew the Madison out in the spring and 3 years later wondered why there where no more rainbows.....it must have been whirling disease.
