Milk and Musselshell rivers reach record levels

HELENA — The Milk and Musselshell rivers were receding Thursday after reaching record levels and flooding streets and homes in Glasgow and Roundup. But it may be a brief respite as the melting snowpack and continuing rain were expected to mean more high water across Montana.

Flooding has been reported from the Clark Fork River near Missoula to the Sun River in central Montana and the Missouri River in the eastern part of the state, forcing many residents to evacuate. Flooding expected to continue in several areas through the weekend.
