[QUOTE="Allen, post: 344871, member: 389"] LOL, you must have missed the part of where this is primarily a rain caused flood. I believe Yellowstone Park officials referred to the rains as "unprecedented". Nonetheless, heavy snowpack across the mountainous headwaters area for the Yellowstone River have historically caused the Missouri River to rise above flood stage for weeks or even months at a time. This flood is being caused by rain and melting snow. So while being terrible for the upstream folks, it is most likely going to cause the Missouri River near Williston to rise above flood stage by roughly 1.6 ft and keep it there for less than a week. Sorry, it just is what it is...
