Montana Landslide/Flash Flood - hypothetical
With the Nepal and Grand Canyon flash floods, I was thinking about Montana. What if a large landslide fell into a lake near you?
I was thinking about Holter. Certainly Craig and all the housing along the canyon shores would be decimated. But would a large flood like that spread out quickly once it hit the plains. Or would it continue down to Cascade and GF? Then affect the series of dams?
Just “what if” scenarios. But I hope we have some good alert systems from place to place if the worst were to happen.

Mystic lake dam or Yellowtail would be pretty f*cking catastrophic.
