Helicopter footage of flooding in Yellowstone

[@JonTanOsb]

The same thing happened here, last fall, when the atmospheric river flooded the Nicola River. Highway 8 is still being rebuilt. Jon in rural BC, Canada

[@0xsergy]

right? it looks just like the footage out of BC from months ago.

I was so lucky went to Yellowstone National Park on weekend of June 4th 5th 6th a week ahead before flooding and pass by Montana too. Also made alot of videos from Yellowstone National Park too!

So whats your point?

[@SEATTLE4KWalking]

@@jamessummers3866 lucky that's the point. It was too much while I was there.

[@howardlewis8079]

Good thing there was a canyon there. Lucky road placement.

[@cavemanbadbones1568]

I have often wondered. . .why build the road so close to the river?. . .like how about an acre or two away. . .seems like it might not be as bad in this kind of situation. . .idk just curious I guess. . .sorry for all the damage though. . .hope nobody got hurt

[@vickimeyers2672]

The geography in the park is such that roads cannot be built "an acre or two away".

[@solo-boots]

Looks like that new road to Tower?

[@gooldenwending]

This is the road just inside the park from Gardiner, I think. So that’s probably Gardiner River

[@wasabiginger6993]

Gardiner River?

[@renafox4481]

Yellowstone river

[@JasonScottCarter]

wow. most of the park going to be closed for a while.

[@vickimeyers2672]

The entire park will be closed for at least a year and possibly longer. There's been significant damage to the roads and bridges throughout the park.

[@renafox4481]

@@vickimeyers2672 they will be opening the South loop later this month! However the North loop will be closed indefinitely for now

[@glennwojcik2342]

Tower road was closed for 2 years.

You'all are going to need some substantial "bend away weirs" out of massive boulders embedded in that streambed to protect the rebuilt highway in the future. The high flow meander is eating your infrastructure because it is self amplifying ...

[@blaz3dandc0nfused87]

Can’t agree more, they need to pay more attention to rivers and damage control

[@NoPrivateProperty]

repent sinners! capitalism will end either way. you gonna learn the hard way
