Made it out of the flood
Made it out of the flood
Well the wife and I made it back from MT. We had been flooded in Roundup and finally got out and drove back. It sucked being landlocked. We kept busy trying to save peoples stuff. Roundup was hit hard. I will download some pics when after I get some sleep and rest. I am sore as shit and can barely walk.

Re: Made it out of the flood
Here is a video one of the neighbors posted. at about 57 secs is the other side of camp 3. That is where I was stuck in.
near the end where the guy was standing with the kid looking, normally you would not even see the river it is actually beyond the trees in the distance right about where those hills go up.
The white garages with the one red door is my wifes cousins place. He lost everything.
If you feel you want to send help they really need clean up stuff when it is all over. It has warmed up and there are more storms coming. The mountains are at 200 percent and most of the snow melts off the mountains every year so all the extra water will come rushing back in and may be worse than this.

This one is from the other side of the first part of the first video. The busy bee is the business that they show it was under about 8 feet of water. the trailer with the deck is actually on a foundation and sits about 4 feet off the ground. It is the home of one of the county workers that was on the boat checking to see if every one got our of their homes.

Re: Made it out of the flood
The videos really make you think......when you hear someone complaining about something trivial, show them one of these videos.
I am glad to hear that you're alright. Hope everything gets back to normal, as quickly as possible.

Re: Made it out of the flood
They are flooded again and expect it to get up 15 feet by friday(above normal river levels). So it will be worse than before. they were at 12.9 before and the ground now is so saturated that it will not soak it will just collect more. Wish them luck. Every one now is just trying to empty teir houses more so less will get damaged.
