Nature doing what nature does best. If we are smart enough to build in its path, surely we are smart enough to deal with it afterwards. I hope everyone is safe though.

Mother nature reminding us that she is the true engineer and designer of this planet.

PARK was ALWAYS OVER CROWDED THIS WILL GIVE THE ANIMALS SOME PEACE AND QUIET FOR THE SUMMER 👏👏👏🍿🍿🤣

Praying all get out safe

I have been wanting to go there since 2005 and finally made the trip...10 days ago. I almost let gas prices keep me from going. Now I'm glad I didn't let that stop me. In life, there's no time like the present.

Yellowstone National Park had over 4.8 million visitors in 2021. Closing the park will help to decrease the damaging effects of emissions from cars, thus allowing the animals, water and vegetation to get a well-deserved break. ❤️

Thinking my dream of going to Yellowstone this year may have to be put on hold. I've never been there, and we were just discussing it last week. Heard all visitors have been evacuated and only employees and parks people are left.

Nature is so powerful and unforgiving

The one vehicle is only leaving by chopper.

The park closed and I have heard there are people stranded. Mother Nature.

Hope everyone is doing OK. 🙏

Sending prayers to all who is in this crisis 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Reminds me of when the Teton Dam broke.

I was in a canyon washout event while camping in New Mexico years ago. Never saw it rain and hail like it did that evening. About an hour after the storm moved on, the flood came down. You could hear the roar for about 5 minutes before the water arrived. We just moved up to higher ground and watched the flood until the daylight ended. Flooding went on until about midnight then stopped as quickly as it started. Quite an experience but not all that unusual in summer months on the eastern front of the Rockies.

Driving thru there on past trips I thought that would be a cool place to kayak. Looks like it will be the only way to get by for quite some time. Thoughts are with the people who rely on this road

Lived from 1992-2005 in and around Yellowstone. A dozen summers with forest fires, but never flooding. My tour guide friends all have sudden & unwanted time off from their jobs.

It will take years to recover from this, they don't get many months out of the year to do road work.

What a tragedy to the Yellowstone National Park. Stay safe citizens of Wyoming, Montana and anyone stuck in Yellowstone.

I love Wyoming and Yellowstone. I have been there numerous times and look forward to more visits.

This is devastating😞. Visited Yellowstone as a child n will never forget it's beauty. Praying for everyone's safety

That’s a lot of water 💦!

The guy stuck on the road needs Matt's of road Recovery

Mother Nature doing what she does. It will take a while to repair all that.

If this is the road from Mammoth to Gardner, there is an old road. I know I've walked it. Would need a big of grading and filling, but its do able. I worked in Mammoth Hot Springs back in 85.

Prayers 🙏♥️ to keep everyone safe.

Mother nature in control!

Why do you call it damage? It’s Nature doing what nature does.

is there a job opening available for whoever filmed this with the exposure compensation at like 75 stops too high

Wow. This reminds me of the Big Thompson Canyon flood from July 1976 in Colorado, the absolutely worse time (Is there ever a GOOD time for a flood?) as Colorado was celebrating its centennial, and the nation was celebrating its bicentennial. Lots of similar damage, except that in the Big Thompson flood, many homes were lost in that flood, which included several fatalities. It took state highway crews, private contractors, surveyors from the Colorado School of Mines, and the Army Corps. of Engineers nearly three years to completely rebuild the road and all of the bridges, and also to rebuild the homes of families who chose to stay. Some naysayers thought the road shouldn't have been rebuilt, but the road was (and still is) the only highway between Estes Park and Loveland (US-34). The cause of the catastrophic flood was due to heavy rains west of Estes Park a couple of days previously. The heavy rainfall caused a flash flood which inundated Lake Estes and spilled over the dam. The dam eventually failed, resulting in the massive flood. The US Army Corps. of Engineers made many repairs to the riparian areas, and the corps. built a new, better dam with more flood gates and spillways.

Oof... when you forget to check your exposure 🤦🏻‍♀️

The wildlife will be thrilled...no tourists for awhile...weeeee....

tone the brightness down a touch geezee.

Don't mess with Mother Nature.

It's always awesome to see nature claim back its territory

What is much worse than this disaster is the savage vandalism that occurred in Yosemite this last week. Near 70 separate sites vandalised with gang grafitti in spray paint. Lovely natureal

Damn. I didn't see even so much as a single yellow stone...guess they all got washed away!

That whole dam river bed is nothing but gold now

You know what really sucks, in 1986 i went to Yellowstone and a month ago i took time off in July to go again for the second time and now this happens UGH!

Just mother nature way of cleaning herself from all the trash

We went through the park in May. Sad to see all that’s happening for the worst. Love Yellowstone so much.

Indeed there are many damages... however isn't mother nature, in constant evolution , altering the landscape, as it's always been doing for millennia?

Mother nature at its fiercest! Wow!

Nature at it's finest . It's been happening for over four and a half billion years .

Beautiful Earth, thank you Lord

Title should read bleached out over expose video makes it hard and straining on your eyes to see Yellowstone

Wow! That is some flood damage!

It will take many years to see healing!!!

Well at least we won’t have to worry about it goin Pop for a while. Hope no one got hurt Thanks for sharing guys Paul

Building homes and roads in a Flooding zone. A five years old child can see, that there is a river bed much larger... 😩🙈😫

The park may be closed for a year or two. I was going to visit Yellowstone this year too. I hope everyone is safe.

It’s Nature’s Way.

It's Mother Nature, she will Take it back,,,,,, someday!!!

We was red lined from all this beautiful nature

Take it back mother. It’s yours

Hope.....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So very sad! May she come back better than ever! 🙏

The animals will be happy

Wow that flood plain looked.......muddy

This is what happens when you change the name of Mt. Doane because it's OFFENSIVE! Now he's having his revenge!

Wow serious water doing its thing.

Stay hydrated out there.

Don’t come to Montana on vacation and definitely do not move here.

Earth Cleansing

tragic that they couldn't turn down the white balance and exposure on the camera so that anything light was not even close to discernable and ended up just all white. terrible damage and terrible camera settings.

Wow…

I am shocked that a river changed its path, just stunned! I mean, when did rivers start doing that? LOLZ!!!!

adjust your aperture

Couldn’t close the iris in the lens a bit? Jesus!

The power of water! Could you imagine what the global deluge looked like?

Please do not build the road next to the river. This flood has happened for thousands of years in Earth - Not surprised.

Is it really damage or is it just Mother Nature doing what it’s always done. Changing the land.

I hope no one’s been hurt

It takes so little to destroy what we took years to build

Notice the animals are gone from the area !

Hope for the sake of those living in Cooke City, MT they can repair quickly and waive all the time consuming NEPA crap or that town is gonna be a ghost town again.

The whole road layout will have to change to the other side or where there is room.

I had a dream the old yellow stone blew his stack . 🏔

"Sorry, folks, the park's closed. The moose out front should'a told 'ya."

Not damage, just Mother Nature rearranging the furniture. Perhaps she doesn't like our taste in how we decorated her living room.

Mother Nature is showing her rage but this destruction of human infrastructure is nothing compared to the destruction we have inflicted on this beautiful planet. 😢 I hope we can be part of the healing process before we are eliminated completely.

Just looks like a Creek from the Sky..

So over exposed you can't see crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pipe some water to California 💦

Horrifying flooding. Humans rarely win any battle with torrents of water. Too strong.

Hope nobody was hurt , glad it's only rain and not one glacier ice it will be summer weather Hopefully soon

Oh jesus, here will be another Excusse to Raise price of gas and Lumber now.

Flood plains being flood plains. Shocker

Nature reclaiming her own. Some shots look exactly like similar undeveloped terrains in Canada and Alaska, perhaps at lower elevations. This should serve as a lesson to those who think humans can control the environment how puny they really are, but they are mostly are far too arrogant to understand or have agendas. Yellowstone Wilderness any one?

the road is about as fcked as the world is now

Where the water once was, it will be again. The destruction caused by the land cleansing itself is natural and necessary.

So was there a ton of rain? Never heard where or what started the flooding.

This damage is outside of the park

A catastrophe like this is proof that we don’t control as much as we think we do.

Took nature millions and millions of years to make this Park, but it took rain 1 day to ruin it. Ugh

But what about the cars?

At 1:20 of video you can see yellow truck with no where to go Looks like someone is standing about 30 feet behind truck 🛻

No more road there again, it should never have been built.

BUMBYE-PAU

This will cut off the North entrance for the season.

new things
