Who got it worse?
[edit]For the moment, I'm moving a disputed bit over here: " Flooding was less severe in counties that are not part of the Musselshell watershed.[1][2] " I question this because the two articles cited do not say this explicitly, and the MSNBC piece is so poorly written that they don't even explain that the flooding they described occurred over multiple river basins (the confusion over Crow Agency in an earlier edit is attributable to the MSNBC article, I think) . I am guessing that Roundup may have more monetary damage of any one county because of population and infrastructure damage, but the flooding on the Yellowstone and its tributaries was also very severe and covered a much wider geographic area. Folks on the Crow Rez down by Crow Agency probably were more severely affected than those in Roundup, but a sparser population and poorer region probably means the economic numbers won't be as high -- I'm not arguing that things weren't bad in Roundup, I just don't want to put in too categorical a statement without a source that says so.

- OK. But one source did say Roundup had it worse. BarkingMoon (talk) 21:21, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- That's also a problem, dueling sources. I read the MSNBC piece to say that the Musselshell flooding was the "worst" - there in Roundup - since 1967. CBS source says 'Crow Reservation, one of the hardest hit areas" Missoulian article has someone saying they Yellowstone is "the highest water anybody here has ever seen." I'll grant Roundup had the deepest water, their big road washout might have stranded the most people for a while, and probably the most monetary damage once they crunch it all, but I want to see more data. Had Crow Agency been the size of Roundup with a few more paved roads nearby, I'd bet there'd be a run for the money damages too. Montanabw(talk) 21:41, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
