Zimmerman Trail is closed and water is pouring off the Rims in waterfalls.
Yellowstone County Sheriff's deputies and Montana Highway Patrol troopers closed down the intersection at First Avenue North and Main Street after the street flooded with more than a foot of water, which spilled up over the sidewalks.
Highway 87 North at Exposition Drive is closed.
All over the area east of downtown, cars stalled in the deep water, especially on Main and Fourth and Sixth avenues north, where manhole covers blew off because of the deluge. Fourth Avenue North is closed at North 24th Street.
The Sixth Street Underpass east of downtown has also flooded and should be avoided. At least one car has stalled there.
On the North Side, neighbors William Barber and Aaron Snyder nervously watched the the BBWA Canal, which runs behind their homes on the 1600 block of Vuecrest Drive.
