CincySportsFan Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Have seen just some unbelievable pictures/video of Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area being hit with historic flooding over the past couple of days. Towns like Livingston, Gardiner, Cooke City and Red Lodge all being impacted. We were just out there in 2019. Very surreal to see some of the roads we were on being underwater, or worse, completely washed away and gone.

CincySportsFan Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Just to put it in perspective, they had flooding in 96 and 97 that were both considered "once every 500 years type of floods". The one they're currently experiencing is higher that either one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Does this water flow to the Colorado River? They need water. That would be the silver lining in this dark cloud if that is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From YNP, it goes north and east into Montana and eventually runs into the Missouri River in North Dakota. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I've read that some of those roads that have been washed out, may be nearly impossible to rebuild. Damage already thought to be in the billions of dollars and financial impact could take decades to overcome. As bad as it is for the park and tourist, the people that live there are the real losers.

The Raven Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Too bad they can't funnel that down to So Cal. Mother Nature is a cruel one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
