Edit: in all seriousness, I hope that doesn’t affect peoples houses. It looks pretty serious

I've seen a couple bridges have washed away. I wonder if heavy fire years cause increased runoff due to less vegetation to soak up snow melt/rain

Almost certainly contributes to this, but is probably not the full cause.

Fires are great for plant growth and rejuvenation. Fire coupled with drought not so much.

The ranch I go to in Wyoming had severe hail last night, lots of damage.

A friend and his wife are stuck in Gardiner.
They posted a video of a house going into the river.

Note To Self: Do not build roads along the bayou in Yellowstone.

Heavy rains or snow melt causing this?
The Yellowstone from Livingston to Gardner is a scary looking ricer normally. Can't imagine during flood times.

My brother and his family were vacationing in Yellowstone. On Sunday they were evacuated to Gardnier and are now stuck there until at least Friday. They were originally scheduled to be home tomorrow.

Heard they are going to start food drops by air out of Manmoth to those stuck in Gardnier. Going to be a long recovery. Road work takes forever there. Took like 2-3 years for the road from Tower to Dunraven

Most people enter at the West entrance so hopefully it’s not a hindrance for visitors in other areas of the park. It is strange seeing the river flows north, but then you think that the whole park is elevated it makes more sense.

I guess 89 north is now open. On what basis I have no clue but my friend and his wife just got out after being stuck for 2 days.

The Willamette river, the river flowing through downtown Portland, is 187 miles long and flows north.
One of the few rivers that long that flow north.
It starts at 450' above sea level in the Eugene area and ends at 10' above when it joins the Columbia.

We were in Jackson Hole and Yellowstone late October last year. The Jackson Lake was waaaaaaaaaay low. Big open flats of ground for miles behind the dam which would normally be underwater. Figured mother nature would even things up soon.
Yikes.
Yikes.

That water make into the Colorado River? Wonder if any of it makes it all the way to Mead if so.

The Yellowstone River continues north and east through the state of Montana and joins the Missouri River near the eastern boundary line of the state. The Missouri River eventually joins the Mississippi River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico.

We have a trip booked to Grand Teton and Yellowstone in late July. Interested to see how things are by then.
