As you can see from the following chart, once the rain stopped my river stopped rising for the most part. Since last midnight to 10:30 pm tonight the river rose from 1000 CFS to 1010. Tonight when I checked the river I could see it was higher than yesterday, but as the tracking station is a few miles upstream of me, the increase in the river flow I saw was probably the increase tracked late yesterday that made its way down to my place.
Also in the news today is that a small dam broke this afternoon on the Stillwater River north of Olney, MT. The Stillwater River is west / northwest of me and doesn't affect me as it joins the Whitefish River some miles south of me. The Stillwater River initially had a flash flood watch and now has "just" a flood warning. That's all I know as today is Saturday and the TV news isn't as thorough (as if it is thorough the other days ), and it is broadcast from Missoula - 120 miles from here. So it is not really the local news, and no video.
