Water continues to rampage over Highway 87 at Roundup inundating large portions of the town.

Water stood about 8 feet deep around the Busy Bee Cafe, a local landmark, as the ordinarily narrow river channel spread across the valley floor.

Highways into town from both Lavina and Billings remain closed.

UPDATE: Floodwaters of the Musselshell River have forced the evacuation of 30 homes in Roundup and the closure of Highway 87 between Roundup and Billings.

"The only way we've got to get out is to go to Forsyth and around," said Jeff Gates, Musselshell County Disaster and Emergency Services coordinator.

He said the county was attempting to set up a shelter for refugees, but "I can't get the Red Cross in here through the high water."

Temporary arrangements are being made with the local LDS church with overflow in the Community Center, he said.

The Musselshell has inundated the town from the highway bridge over the river to Laundry Hill, where the streets rise toward Main Street.

Gates said three feet of water was running over the highway in places.
