An aerial view of flood waters in Columbia Falls, June 9, 1964. The lower bridge is Highway 2, the upper bridge is the Red Bridge in Columbia Falls. The entire Mosquito Flats neighborhood is under water (lower right) as is much of South Nucleus Avenue. Perhaps most interesting is the flooding east of the bridge. (Hungry Horse News archives)
