High water hits many areas

Less than 12 months after a flood that led to a presidential disaster declaration, new flooding occurred over the weekend on Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation and in Hill County, with flooding continuing on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation and the level of the Milk River rising in Blaine County.

Gov. Brian Schwitzer last week requested a presidential disaster declaration, which at that time had excluded Hill County and Rocky Boy, both of which were declared federal disaster areas last summer.
