>>>Even with the excess rains, it shouldn’t have been this bad if they’d managed it better months ago.

But they had to maintain a water level to protect a fish population... on that would not have been there in the first place were it not for the damn dams... Corps of Engineers is gonna have a lot of ‘splainin to do when it’s all said and done and they look back with their 20-20 hindsight...

They can explain an make excuses until the cows come home but many of those cows drowned and their owners lost their homes and livelihoods which can never be made right again. PC and EPA will be the death of the USA.

Your Government at work.......(Or lack thereof)

One would think that the great floods from ‘93 would have taught them something. I remember films of caskets floating from graveyards into the Mississippi.

The MSM is trying to make this flood look like it's the first time.

You’ve all got my prayers.

You’ll need ‘em.

Montana’s running Flood Stage on practically every stream in the state, reservoirs are full to overflowing and that record snow we had last winter hasn’t half started to melt off yet.

This mess we’ve got gets downstream to you all at one time, the flooding you’ve got now is going to look tame.

I’m betting on a whole bunch of early retirements in BLM and Corps of Engineers this summer, if that’s any comfort.

Guess we just get to pay up and shut up. Again.
