It's been a wet winter so far in our region, and while moisture is usually a good thing come summer, heaps of snow and ice can cause problems in the winter. This winter we've seen collapsed roofs, ice jams and flooding concerns. Back in the mid 90's, neighbors helped neighbors in Fort Benton after homes flooded on February 9th, 1996. NewsChannel 5 filed this report the next day.
