we had no warning they were just, like, get in get in get in reporter: for nicole o shea and nearly a hundred other people cut off by dangerous, fast-rising floodwaters, these helicopter rides were their only chance for rescue it landed and it was it was i m getting goosebumps just talking about it. it was so emotional because none of us were expecting it. reporter: across large swaths of montana, historic flooding washed away roads and submerged them under feet of water. the water started rolling in the back, broke out a basement window, started filling up my basement and then i quit. holy! reporter: even bridges with their mangled trestles floated downstream, ripped apart by raging currents. it was frightening because in addition to all of this debris, you can hear the rocks in the creek these are giant boulders reporter: a state of emergency as roads
