At least two residential bridges spanning Basin Creek have been pushed out by boulders rolling along the creek bed. Logs and debris are banging into the bottom of the only bridge that connects us to the rest of civilization.
Across the creek and twenty feet in elevation below us is Basin Creek Pottery.
The Boulder Monitor has more pictures of flooding in Jefferson County at its Facebook page.

Holy crap -- boulders! Keep that Internet connection above the waterline, so we know you and your goddesses are all right!
We all agreed today that a seven month winter beats the hell out of a seven month fire season every time. Looks like the Hills had their first wildfire going near Custer.
Best wishes to you and yours.
Than was an awesome picture into the power of mother nature, the bagging effort went really well and the community really came together and will be tighter in the end. I love Basin, the energy is GREAT and this place has changed my life.
How is the creek this morning?Is Basin going to need more help? I cannot work today because the road to the hot springs is gone and the back road is closed due to it being under water.
Good morning. The creek is way down but still roaring. The Montana Standard wrote us up.
Update, 0925 MDT, 24 February, 2018: Patrick Eckman obituary. The first photo in this post was of volunteers sandbagging Patrick's house on Basin Creek. He was Joani's first husband.
