Melting Snows Flood Northwest An unseasonable warm spell swells creeks and rivers, raising havoc in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Idaho is especially hard hit with Pocatello, a city of 30,000 ninety percent under water. Men working with sandbags to support levee. Six days of heavy rains in Los Angeles cause untold millions of dollars worth of damage there. Aerial and ground footage of the flood waters and aftermath clean-up. People push a car through waist high water. Two men, janitors pushing water from basement. A bulldozer scrapes mud off the road.
