Holy hell man, that amount of water is simply unreal... My thoughts and prayers go out to you guys that you weather this deal intact If it wasn't for being nearly 1200 miles away I would be there helping right now.

Best of luck guys, not sure what else to say.

thanks seth.

Wholey CHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

I just seen this Thread.
Kyle, and Rob, you guys are stand up ppl for everything you've done for helping each other, and others out. I hope the sand bagging is all for not.
But kudos to all you out there doing what you all are doing.

hey Kyle and Rob........ gots some bad news for you guys down stream on the missouri.......theres still tons of snow up in the mountains in Montana and Idaho..... will try and post some pics later. But the Missouri is overflowing the banks in some areas, and they're all sayin' its gonna get way worse before it gets any better.... we went through a severe rain storm on the way back, and in Great Falls, they said the water rose 2 feet just from the storm upriver....... Post up some new pics about how the battle is goin' ...... feelin' sorry for you guys!

thanks ric.

will get some new pics up.

the river level is now above 18 feet (flood stage is 16) and its still coming up.

they are still increasing the release rate out of the dam, its now above 130,000cfs


we have been getting alot of rain lately and its not helping the matter either... i was up at my grandparents this past sunday and the water is starting to breach their neighbors dike around their cabin.. they got 2 sump pumps running right now. who knows if it will last..

they are saying this high water will be around till middle of august now.
