The rain that washed off the Rimrocks pushed debris, including mud and rocks, onto North 27th Street near Montana State University Billings. Police were on scene and most of the road was closed to traffic.

High water at the corner of First Avenue North and Main Street caused multiple cars to stall on the road.

All of the underpasses in the downtown area were closed due to flooding, according to the Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office.
