Four Day Montana Flood Eases as Jefferson Crest Tightens
Jefferson Crest caused little damage as Montana faces a shortened flood crisis. Volunteers and heavy equipment reinforced two Shelby stockwater reservoirs while the Jefferson River crested near Three Forks and then declined. Townsend forecast a crest below flood stage, Canyon Ferry Dam increased releases to prevent reservoir overload, and Great Falls saw a 3 foot drop from 24 hours earlier. Approximately 300 Shelby homes evacuated briefly before shoring stopped further breaches.
