Those pictures with flows of 88,000 cf/s flows. They are talking upwards of 110,000 cf/s or more. And high water levels for an extended period of time.

Yes, the Yellowstone is running very high and the snowmelt from the Rockies won't even impact until July. It could be well into the heat of summer if people have to leave their homes before the water recedes.
What could happen further downstream? Would Chamberlain see the same thing as the water continues to rise from this upstream flooding in Pierre/Ft. Pierre?
On the other end, there have been flood warnings this week for the Mississippi River at St. Louis. If this causes the Missouri to begin backing up at St. Louis where it dumps into the Mississippi things could get nasty in my state very quickly. Water being released from upstream and backing up downstream. Meanwhile our severe weather continues to feed the Mighty Missouri.
There is a real time function which will allow you to see a graph of the water levels for an individual gauge x 7 days.
