Yellowstone’s Devastating Flood Damage Revealed

[@crotalusatrox7931]

The flooding did what it always does. We altered the way the landscape looked. Also, some of that damage has to be our fault for building roads and whatnot that close to a river. I grew up in a 100 year flood zone and we saw 3 floods in 10 years. No one was ever surprised by it.

[@justme-ij2qy]

Montana holds several world records for temperature changes. I believe it was January of 72 when there was a temperature drop of 103° in 24 hours near Loma. Having lived in Montana my entire life I just stay prepared whenever I am out and about. I have experienced 24 hour swings while hunting that went from sunny tshirt weather in the evening to -36° and snow covered when I woke up. I was fully geared up for both extremes of the weather though.

I cannot tell you how the militant environmentalists within our federal government and Parks Services celebrate these events.

During large scale wildfires within national parks it’s common for strategic defensive lines to be drawn with disregard for private structure protection. Ask an honest US Forest Service fireman.

Sad to see the destruction and the danger that comes upon people. Nature will continue as it always has for billions of years. We need to realize we can’t control nature but we can look for danger signs and pay attention to our natural instincts when danger is imminent. Always check with ranger stations & weather reports.

[@crAZNimal]

Yup its just nature, its only destruction and disaster when you put humans into the equation. It will happen no matter what. 👍

The issue is that even with our technology and instincts, humans still cannot accurately predict! Flooding timing and levels Storm timing and severity (without technology) Volcanic eruption timing and strength (even with technology) Earthquake timing and strength (even with technology) Tsunami size and strength (even with technology) Humanity has great achievements, but nature is infinitely more destructive than any weapon that humanity could possibly build.
