Video shows road destroyed in Yellowstone as tourists remain trapped in area

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. - All entrances to Yellowstone National Park will be closed at least until Thursday due to heavy rain, flooding, rockslides and extremely hazardous conditions.
Aerial video posted on the park’s Facebook page Monday shows a large section of paved road next to a river near the north entrance eroded and washed out in several places due to high water levels.
Similar situations have been reported in other parts of the park, and power is out in many areas following “unprecedented” amounts of rainfall and flooding, according to a news release.
“Our first priority has been to evacuate the northern section of the park where we have multiple road and bridge failures, mudslides and other issues,” said Yellowstone National Park Superintendent Cam Sholly. “Due to predictions of higher flood levels in areas of the park’s southern loop, in addition to concerns with water and wastewater systems, we will begin to move visitors in the southern loop out of the park later today in coordination with our in-park business partners.”
The northern loop is likely to be closed “for a substantial amount of time,” and park staff is working with the county and state to provide support to residents of Gardiner, Montana, a town north of the park that is isolated by the dangerous conditions.
A family staying at a short-term rental house in Gardiner near the park entrance is unable to leave their rental cabin due to flooding in the area.
Indiana couple Melissa and Parker Manning told CNN they arrived at their rental on Saturday with their family and expected to leave Monday morning.
“That’s not happening any time soon,” Parker Manning said. “The water levels were high on Saturday, but within the past 10 to 12 hours, things have gotten rougher.”
The couple joined a call with emergency management officials Monday afternoon. Officials on the call suggested local businesses consider food rationing, just in case.
Manning said they did go to the grocery store, and everyone was being smart about what to stock up on and not panicking.

This actually happens somewhat often here in Colorado. Storms park right on the edge of the Rockies and dump a ton of water in a couple of days. Flash flooding always takes the roads out. You may not have any rain right where you are, but it is happening in the mountains. The problem is always tourists get in their cars to escape and drive down these thin roads where the water will flood and destroy. FYI - If there is a flash flood warning or you see water rising quickly, get out of your car and run uphill as fast as you can. Everything else can be replaced except for your life. Those who survive are ALWAYS the ones who ran up the side of the mountain. Those who do not are often the ones in their cars. Teach your children this even if you do not live in these areas, as someday they may be driving through these areas.

This same thing I seen on KZfaq video what happened in repairs of the southbound lane of Red Mountain Pass Highway, Colorado. There erosion happened and they built a connecting bridge to the undamaged portions. There also happens to be a 800 to 1,000 drop off to river gorge below. 60 to 70 angle degree pitch as well. There's no GUARDRAILS most of this mountain pass highway. I don't want to take nothing away from this damaged highway but look at the following KZfaq video what I said.

We had similar flooding in most of the canyons in the Rockies in Colorado in 2013. It rained hard for days and there was so much flooding. Mostly affected sparsely populated cabin areas at first, but the town of Lyons was basically turned into an island, with no roads to the other cities in or out for quite a while. I think the actual major highway 36 through Lyons was finally rebuilt in the past couple years. Eventually the flood in the Big Thompson Canyon and Highway 34 spilled out into the plains and put areas near the Platte River under water. It was a terrible fall that year. Last year, same thing happened with the Colorado River in the Glenwood Canyon washing out the road due to mudslides in the forest fire burn areas. 😢

That canyon is only wide enough for the Gibbon River and the road if the river is behaving itself. If there is a big storm and this one was a Really Big Storm, the road will go away. We were planning to go to Norris this morning, but a check of the weather forecast caused us to cancel that idea. Don't know how long it will be until we can get in there again. Vixen Geyser and Steamboat Geyser will erupt, unseen, for the next few months. This road is one of the original 1880's roads that were laid out and constructed by the Army Engineers under command of the Park Superintendent, a US Cavalry Officer. The Army patrolled the Park until 1917, when the NPS was founded and took over. The road was always gravel and easy to repair when horses and stagecoaches were the normal transportation in the region. After 1900, cars began to appear in the Park. Maybe one or two each year at first. Eventually the roads into the Park began to be rebuilt and paved for car traffic, but the Park transportation plan kept them where the gravel roads had been placed. That is why the road runs along the Gibbon River and is so easily washed out.

This entire video here which killed thousands of animals and destroyed whatever green was left, is entirely due to us humans.
