Never understood that. Houses on stilts by the ocean. There needs to be a law prohibiting building so close to rivers and oceans. No wonder insurance is high.

i worked in llano at that time and that flood was fucking intense i watched it come down river before it rose 42ft and it sounded like a freight train coming down stream.

Omg, 42 feet!?! I would've been absolutely terrified! 😨Houston floods, but I don't think we've ever seen that magnitude of water.

Gives more credence to the global flood destroying the world in Noah's time, doesn't it?

@Ryan4 That “global” flood probably was regional. The Bosphorus straits may have been created by the Black Sea busting through into the Mediterranean.

@@chasbodaniels1744 the problem with the regional flood concept however doesn't fit the geological data collected from the continent covering sedimentary layers that span the globe.

@@Ryan-rh8rn For those that believe in the whole Noah's Ark global flood fairy tale, here's a few simple science questions and info. Where does rain come from? It comes from water evaporating from oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds etc. In order for that much rain to fall it had to have evaporated from those bodies of water by evaporation, thus lowering the water level. It's utterly impossible for there to have been a flood of those proportions when all the rain was doing was replacing the evaporated water, thus no global flooding at all. Yes there could have been isolated flooding the likes of which occurs now but nothing near the global flooding that the fairy tale portends!

The Yellowstone hasn't flooded like this in recorded history. Record was over 100 years ago at 33000 cfs, this time the monitor broke at over 50000 cfs... almost double the record from 100 years ago, not to mention that's just when the meter broke... it kept rising.

Right?!

Agree 100%. I cringe at the arrogance of folks building on short-term shorelines.

Hope they don't expect ANYONE to try and rescue them!! Why should others die trying to save those with no brain cells!!!!

Because if they don’t they are trapped as conditions get worse

Retrieving family members?

darwin will get those idiots sooner or later...

Because this bloke wouldn't let them borrow his helicopter! Improvise; the bulb gets brighter.

There's no way they'll be able to build even a working bypass between Gardiner and Mammoth before winter hits. Cost of living in YNP just got a lot more expensive, and for once we can't blame the Dems.

There is access to Cooke City coming from Cody, WY. before winter snowfall. Has that road been affected by flooding, as well?

@@vickimeyers2672 not that I'm aware of, but the only route into Cooke City during winter is through the park.

@Mr. chicano if the EV you're driving on an interstate runs out of fuel, do you take a bucket, walk to the closest charging station, fill up the bucket with electricity, then walk back to your EV and fill it up?

@@dwagon41 I lived and worked in Cooke City. Drive through the Lamar Valley to Livingston often during the winter months.

@sali gandu So can a kiss. If someone uses one of those fake lips and puts poison on it....You would think a kiss is sweet but you should really think again about those who kiss you....

yellowstone will never erupt..failed science class did ya?

@@tmak4699 It only erupts about every 600,000 to 800,000 years. How long has it been now? About 800,000?

@@hardrockminer-50 okay i stand corrected..it will never erupt at any significant level..

No

Patricia Ribaric Nope, water from the Yellowstone River eventually flows into the Missouri River then into the Mississippi River and on to the Gulf of Mexico .

@@jons5898 Thank you.

Wrong side of the Rockies dear

@@babydaddy1930 even if it was on the other side, the answer is still no.....it would go to the Columbia.

It does take visitors by surprise and puts them danger

@@ediewall6360 Maybe "visitors" should pay more attention to their surroundings and the "weather". Our National Parks are not Disneyland, last time I checked that was in California.

@@dgrfsthrgsergwrtghasefq Hey, I agree. I think that we have far too many irresponsible “ adults” in this country. People act as if cause and effect does not exist. Do no harm is an important way of thinking. Parents aren’t parenting perhaps and adults are’t adulting.

We built in a flood plane and it flooded...

they will be humbled

Good move. Crowds at Yellowstone are bad enough during a normal summer. Big sections of the park and the Loop Road will be closed and traffic jams and crowds for the parts that are open will likely be ridiculous. It can take a long time for parks in remote areas with short seasons for rebuilding and maintenance to recover. Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada had a huge wildfire in 2017. I was there in late August, 2019 and probably 80% of the park was still closed.

Californians ruin everything...

Haha 😎

Amen

Better than national which isn’t even reporting.

That’s what I was thinking..

Did you catch where they said that it was “second hand nature” for that man to help out ? 😆

@@kirstenjohnston7100 Yes! And he said that the residents say they've never seen the river this high before and then puts the mic in front of the lady who said "I've never see the river this high before"

That’ll really help!

Yellowstone National Park is the oldest national park in the U.S. and very large, mostly in the state of Wyoming but partially in the states of Montana and Idaho. It is a high elevation area with a very cold climate and the Yellowstone River is already at high flow in June from snow melt. Add in a lot of rain and this is the result.

It's a short history of 5 years.

NO!!! Different water shed. Going to ND SD Neb then into the Mississippi River and on to the Gulf.

Yes on the east side by the White House.

Try several years until they are completely fixed, they might be able to build a couple temp fixes to get around a few places, but w/a short construction season up there, it’s going to take years to fix all that!

No, you haven't. The Yellowstone flooded in 1981. This is 3 feet higher.

Nope. Broke all previous records.

Just on news 6/15/22

The pollution from one high-population city had more of an effect on this flood than Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho COMBINED. Many people lived there their entire lives. Some for generations and generations. Yellowstone National Park is one of the few relatively untouched environments and began the concept for not only for the US, but the world. The wilderness there is similarly protected by federal law. Most billionaires and people in government would raze the entire country for short-term profit, if they could. Love of this land is what protects it from harm. I've seen what passes for nature in meteopolitan areas. Why is utter destruction of the environment accepable there? Will you and your entire family leave your home? Where will you go? THIS IS THEIR HOME.

Really? I live on the western slope and and all we have had this spring is rain and snow. It's pouring out right now.

Yea right. This is totally Bidens fault. /s

😄

I don’t know, heavy rain on a big snowpack was probably the biggest contributor

LOL

😀

It doesn't stay cold all summer, but it can get cold at night and snow at the highest elevations during the summer. Most of the campgrounds are at 7000-9000 feet elevations and you can usually figure the temperature is about 4 degrees F lower every 1000 feet up, so lows at night in the high 30's and low 40's aren't unusual. If you're hiking at high elevation and don't carry some layers and a rain jacket you are at risk of hypothermia at any time of year if you get caught in the rain or snow.

Well if you’ve ever crawled out of your basement you’d understand that high winds follow strong storms.

Biggest flows on that river in 100 years.

@@0ldf0lk5henshaw yep, and by double the highest record over 100 years ago.

That sucks.

I’ll bet those same ranchers are using leased govt land

@@arthurbrumagem3844 Yes due to the 1937 Taylor Grazing Act. Politicians kinfolks get to graze cattle and sheep on public land. Some like Cliven Bundy dont even pay that tiny lease. These business men spray non biodegradable herbicide toxins on all the broadleafed plants and exterminate every wild animal that consumes grass. Even the prairie dog towns are exploded. The reason they are called " welfare ranchers" is because they declare " disaster relief grants" constantly to get YOU to buy all their hay and feed and chemicals, and even pay for government wildlife exterminators to keep the leased areas devoid of wildlife. I am well acquanted with this corruption. These areas are not historic cattle regions anyway. The grasses stay dead too long all winter and summers too dry. The bison were migratory to survive on the shortgrass prairie until the Buffalo Soldiers exterminated them by 1857 to starve out the Sioux and Frontiersmen. The real true cowboy heritage is from the southwest where millions of truely wild LONGHORNS were rounded up and literally driven to extinction for wealthy stockyard owners.

@@inharmonywithearth9982 millions of bison may have been killed but it wasn’t just the Buffalo soldiers doing it. I agree with the rest of your assessment however. The longhorns however weren’t native to the SW. They were brought there by settlers and managed to grow exponentially in the arid areas when they became wild.

@@arthurbrumagem3844 If you consider the math you might want to question that Longhorn theory. Remember history is His Story. How could a few lost cattle in the late 1500s become millions of feral cattle by the late 1700s? The feral horse theory also is challenged. How come the Baskir Curly Mongolian Milk horse has been found among the feral horse bands as well as a thriving breeding operation by Nez Pierce in the Palouse Valley of Washington that is NOTHING genetically simular to Spanish horses? Also the Buffalo Soldiers were able to fully decimate the migratory bison in only 3 years. By 1857 the Buffalo Soldiers were finished and after monutains of bison bones were burned to make lime they became a black regiment until discontinued a hundred years later.

This water isn’t flowing that way

goes to North Dakota then south to Atlantic via Missouri River.

Totally agree and made the same exact comment. Nothing sad or alarming at all abt any of this. Just nature doing what it does.

@@gsftom When you lose everything in a natural disaster or terrible accident, come back and comment again. Not everyone affected was on the riverbank. Roads that have stood for over a hundred years are gone. People are stranded without power, food, and shelter, FFS.

the Indians just laughed

No it is NOT climate change & plain ignorance to say so. Rivers flooding is as old as the rivers themselves.
