Missouri River Flood Swells Across Montana Canyon Lands
Flood crest of the Missouri River rose two feet above levels near Toston and surged through canyons northeast of Helena by noon Saturday. By 4 p.m. the water filled valley lands east of Cascade, forcing evacuations by boat and widening the river to three miles across in spots. The Sun River flooded Sun River town and areas near Great Falls, with highways 20 and 30 washed out. Great Falls deputies evacuated suburban residents as power-dam water joined the rising Missouri. Damage expected to be high as dikes are built and flood crests move toward plains country.
