Heavy rain fell across northeastern Wyoming as a strong storm system crossed the region. Two to five inches of rain in 36 hours caused significant runoff and flooding in the Gillette area. The Little Powder River and Donkey Creek rose above bankfull. The Belle Fourche River near Moorcroft crested a half foot below flood stage, but remained within its banks. Some gravel roads were damaged across northern Campbell and western Crook Counties.
