Gov. Brian Schweitzer declared a statewide emergency as broad areas of southeastern Montana remained underwater.

Rural communities in southeastern Montana, including the Crow Reservation, were hardest hit, authorities said.

In Carbon County, 84-year-old Betty Kebschull was killed after she fell into a flooding ditch.

Kebschull was swept a short distance downstream from her house near Boyd, where authorities found her body Saturday, Deputy Coroner Ben Mahoney said. A Monday autopsy confirmed she drowned.

In Yellowstone County, authorities were searching for a man reported missing after a roadway apparently washed out from underneath a backhoe he was operating near Pryor Creek.

Rescue crews later Monday went into the water to search the cab of the backhoe thinking that the man — 47-year-old Clint Stovall — may have been trapped, but didn't find him. Crews also searched downstream of the site, Sheriff Mike Linder said.

Authorities planned to resume searching Tuesday morning.
