Park is closed. Various roads washed out. Bridges in Park Co Montana washed away, destroyed. US89 from Livingston to Gardiner closed, 60 miles of highway. Rain on the snowpack runs off quickly, taking some melted snow with it. Between a 100 year and 500 year event.
On the Madison/Gallatin “Missouri river” side of the Missouri river headwaters, a series of hydro electric dams are releasing water asap.
Fairly large disaster.
Daughter was telling me about that...of course, her "girls trip" is scheduled a month from now...any predictions on what in the world a month from now will look like?
Just watched a live video on the news of bridges washing out and houses being washed into the rivers. A fairly large disaster is an apt description.
I think I heard them say the water is higher than it’s been since late 1800’s..

That’s a crazy video.
After the past few years, I am predicting snow in a month. Probably a blizzard that leaves the UFOs stranded.Quote:

Saw your facebook page. It’s awful. That is a long term clean up and restoration.Quote:

So the speed of the rain on snow runoff is what clobbered the Yellowstone valley. In a month some roads will be closed. Yankee Jim Canyon and Gardiner to Mammoth may still be closed, will be, likely. Flip side is the geographical changes will be raw, obvious, awesome. Rafting may me limited on the Yellowstone but the Gallatin will be a fine option.
Rainy season ends about the 4th of July. Summer begins.
I was worried about the dams on the Madison and Missouri but that side of the Missouri headwaters did not get the heavy rain event. Nevertheless at least two bridges got eroded, bent, destroyed on the Gallatin.
Mother Nature is always awesome, but at times she is certainly dangerous.
Not entire KY towns getting wiped out by a tornado, horrible tragedy, but more a reminder that not everything is under human control.
