This was part of historic flooding in North Dakota with statewide costs estimated around 1.5 billion dollars. Flooding was the result of significant winter snows and significant spring rains, not only in North Dakota but in Montana as well. Rocky Mountain snowpack was four to six times normal. Flooding was along the Missouri River from the Montana border to Garrison Dam. Dams were overwhelmed by the amount of water. Flooding included river, ground, and overland types. Oil wells were shuttered. Estimated damages were around $400,000 and that is not all inclusive. There was a significant loss to agriculture by not being able to plant. A tremendous flood fight was waged against the river, and that cost is not included here. Storm Data cannot reflect the scope of this event. Information is what was available at the time of this writing. Refer to newspaper articles and other federal, state, and local sources for detailed information.
Here are some facts about the flooding in North Dakota provided by North Dakota Emergency Management. The total estimated flood cost was around $1.5 billion. Individual and housing assistance was $323 million; small business $248 million; home and business reconstruction $452 million; public response, recovery, and mitigation $480 million; disaster unemployment for 866 claims was $2.3 million; and the public finance authority disaster loan program approved $56.6 million. Public infrastructure costs were $320 million. Of the state's 53 counties, 48 were impacted, along with three tribal nations.
The Missouri River was in flood in every state in the United States of America that it runs through. This was a multi-state disaster.

A prolonged, widespread heavy rainfall event was associated with a cold front that moved very slowly east across the Lower Ohio Valley. The front became the focus for heavy rain as it nearly stalled across western Kentucky and southwest Indiana. Abundant moisture moved northeast along and just behind the front. This moisture interacted with a series of upper level disturbances to further increase heavy rainfall.  A very large and persistent area of moderate rain caused a slow but steady rise in water levels. In the Ohio River counties, rainfall amounts averaged about two inches every 12 hours, resulting in storm-totals from 3 to 4 inches. Small creeks, streams, and ditches reached or exceeded bankful. Numerous roads susceptible to high water problems were flooded. Water levels continued to rise, even after the rain ended. Specific rainfall totals for the entire event from Dec. 3-6 included 3.40 inches at the Evansville Airport and 3.41 at Newburgh.

Flood in DAGGETT, UTAH
From 03-JUL-11 15:30:00 to 11-JUL-11 14:00:00 (MST-7)

Reported by: River/Stream Gage

High releases were necessary to alleviate inflated inflow into Flaming Gorge Reservoir due to heavy runoff from melting snow that occurred from the record snow pack in the Central Rockies. The high releases created low land flooding below the reservoir, caused some bank erosion and impacted recreation along the river.
The last of the record snowpack across the central Rocky Mountains continued to melt into early July and caused extended high flows and river flooding along the Green River along the west edge of Grand County through the middle of the month.

Mitigation work by Grand County was needed through the first week of July to keep water off the city golf course and adjacent state park. Erosion of river banks continued during the high flows and flood waters remained over low lying ranch and farm lands near the river.
