Heard about this house on Boston NPR today. They interviewed some hiker who got stuck in town and joined the locals to watch it fall.
Dumb interview, although he said a local church provided dinner, breakfast, and a roof to sleep under for stranded travelers.. so that's cool.
Crazy footage / event. Hope any local maggot properties are safe and sound!

Helena Habitat for Humanity is organizing a group of volunteers to go to Red Lodge and help with general cleanup, after the emergency response winds down. They have some home projects being built there in partnership with a Red Lodge group (none of their homes were damaged). I'm sure they would welcome volunteers from anywhere. Sign up at the link.

To all of the Montana Mags, You'll be made whole again! Your Governor is slowly making his way back from Tuscany. Sounds like you Lt. Governor is on top of it.

Good luck out there everyone.
as mentioned vermont only got back up and running quickly due to the state cutting all red tape. We were suddenly able to pull materials out of pits ACT 250 had closed on us, we were allowed in rivers in machines to clear debris, and the state was writing checks just as fast as excavation companies could bill. Casella and the army corp put rt 4 back to working order in astonishing time, but there were 100 guys 24 hours a day. Dover and wardsboro by mount snow were a island for almost a month. Ten years later, it’s almost forgotten by many.
if companies need help out there, post up links. I’d get a flight tomorrow.
and side thought… hopefully MT government reaches out to all the mines down in that area. They are the ones with the equipment to deal with that. When I was building GUSA in Alder, we would do anything for the county and state, we just needed to stay in good standing so we could continue getting permits.Last edited by SoVT Joey; 06-19-2022 at 04:44 AM.

Re mines, the Stillwater complex was in one of the harder hit river valleys. They're in the process of building a temporary road to replace the one to the mine area that washed out, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of their resources leveraged further after they get that project done.
At the state level, I'd expect that regulations for rebuilding will be minimal, the current governor doesn't like regulations any more than he likes liberal reporters. I'm curious to see what kind of flexibility the feds show in Yellowstone and the CGNF. I have no idea if NEPA has emergency bypass procedures.

ya. I started thinking about that. The feds are the most likely week link and they will find a way to red tape any forward progress, just like normal. It’s a terrible situation, as much as I can’t stand tourists, just like here in vermont they are a dire necessity out there as well. dam their money.

Ok, who's ready to accept this climate change thing might be a problem? And, like, maybe we ought to do something to keep it from getting worse?
"Even as scientists and land managers are taken aback by the magnitude of the floods, unprecedented in 100 years of recorded history, they recognize the similarities to the events their data predicted. They just weren’t anticipating them to occur this year.
“As a scientist I would say, well, this is completely in line with what we might expect,” says Cathy Whitlock, a paleoclimatologist and lead author of the Greater Yellowstone Climate Assessment, the first such report ever done on an ecosystem. “As a human being I would say I'm shocked.”"

It is climate.
Having lived through a couple mind bending natural disasters here in my hometown I can say the damage takes years and years and years to rebuild and nothing will ever be as it was. Mentally it takes a toll as well. Flooding on an epic scale really blows circuits in the mind. Heavy rain always triggers those memories. Our derecho means I can never look at a storm front and shrug my shoulders again. Something a lifetime of plains storms taught me, respect but don't panic, undone in an hour.
This sucks for that whole region. Exactly a year ago the wild fires were raging above Red Lodge. Trauma on top of trauma.
My thoughts are with the entire effected region.

Watching from afar is tough for me after living through a similar event in Vermont. I want to be there in person and help haul muck and sandbags and everything else, but that's not happening.
I have sent a couple of donations, but speaking of fires and floods, I'm also hoping that they'll restock the large benefit shirts:

Saw a story on the news last night about 40 Bobcat football players who went down and were shoveling muck and whatnot.

Was at a get together late yesterday to celebrate the life of a friend who passed on last November, RIP Shawn.
Was talking with one of the Mtn ops managers from Big Sky and I asked what was going on with the former Gold parking lot. Saw a guy laying out large rectangles on it.
It will be RV and van parking for overnight stays this summer. I asked about next winter.
Sounds like that will be possible as well. Stay tuned.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.
