On Friday, June 24, 2022, MTN News broadcast a one-hour special about the historic flooding that ravaged parts of Montana earlier in the month.

The flooding was particularly devastating in several counties, notably Stillwater, Carbon, and Park.

Flooding also affected Yellowstone National Park, which had to close for more than a week due to washed-out roads.
