Yellowstone’s Devastating Flood Damage Revealed

Рет қаралды 365,696

Жыл бұрын

Torrential flooding closed roads, stranded visitors and even caused a house to collapse into a river. Now that the flood waters have subsided, the National Park Service is sharing a more extensive look at how Yellowstone was affected. New footage shows the extent of the damage suffered by the park. Rushing waters in the Lamar River Canyon engulfed riverbanks - and trees. And aerial views reveal the erosion of park roads along Gardner River Canyon.

@justme-ij2qy Жыл бұрын

Montana holds several world records for temperature changes. I believe it was January of 72 when there was a temperature drop of 103° in 24 hours near Loma. Having lived in Montana my entire life I just stay prepared whenever I am out and about. I have experienced 24 hour swings while hunting that went from sunny tshirt weather in the evening to -36° and snow covered when I woke up. I was fully geared up for both extremes of the weather though.
