- 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.
Yellowstone....a geological area that has seen much devastation in the past and will outlast man. The Only Constant in Life is that everything Changes.
And also a very dangerous place as its like under a volcano that could erupt and destroy a lot of stuff
The only thing about me that's changed is my outward appearance. So, speak for yourself.
Mother Nature at her best!👍
@@Steve-yo4ld more like CONservatives at their worst! lol we should put Cons in all the places that will be destroyed the fastest by climate change. They wouldn't even care cuz they believe they need to be punished by their sky wizard, and I have to agree Lol!
@@lowkey771 it’s not just a regular volcano though that thing is one of the biggest in the world and you’re right it a ton of people would die if that thing went off lol
i dont see this as damage, i see as Nature just doing it's thing.
I think the people who have to rebuild that road might not see it that way.
Also nature doing it's thing and damage aren't mutually exclusive.
@@kkknotcool I'm pretty sure the people who got to rebuild don't care while their getting fat checks
@@setalight7290 I'm sure whoever got taxed to pay for those fat checks care.
@@kkknotcool I'm sure it's not legal to raise taxes in disaster situations so I'm thinking they'll probably care less you baboon
I'm suprised to see how many share my thoughts on this. It is humbling to see nature in all its mightiness
I visited Yellowstone in July. Hot, around 90+ that day. Set up tents at a camp sight. Yeah, started to snow, temperature dropped so fast, over 60 degrees overnight. Light layer of snow. Yellowstone is it’s own dimension
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.
Sounds like good weather
As someone who lives in Montana, how prevalent is suicide there. I hear it's a huge issue.
90F is not hot
@@walkdeep Wyoming is worst
The flooding did what it always does. We altered the way the landscape looked. Also, some of that damage has to be our fault for building roads and whatnot that close to a river. I grew up in a 100 year flood zone and we saw 3 floods in 10 years. No one was ever surprised by it.
only 3 ?
What’s a “100 year flood zone”?
damn right aint no climate change in murica
@what's_popping so 100 years prior to them living there then, right? Because I wouldn’t be able to see how people would be able to live if it flooded that much, ya know what I mean? Lol
@@zimenoschosch6764 always has changed and always will change. There’s not much humans can do to change it.
I myself as a person that lives in Montana has seen the damages of everything. Half of Livingston is currently underwater. It's a sad thing to see...
take care always, message from a random person on the other side of the earth
yet so many water, but stil heat wave...the separation of wet and hot area is so mind blowing.
@@starrynight3945 the US is huge. Not hard to fathom the vast amount of climates.
No it’s not when the rest of the country is under severe drought and heat
Mother nature was there first
This is not a disaster, just the nature's usual business.
So a natural disaster? 🤡
@@The_Quaalude Only a human would consider it a disaster.
@@AlisonCasilli yeah disaster is a word made by humans 🤡
@@AlisonCasilli except the wildlife that drowned and the young offspring who lost their parents or got washed downstream and misplaced. And all the trees and habitat that was destroyed and also that hillside looks like there's going to be a mudslide or 2 every year further damaging wildlife habitat. Natural disasters aren't good things :(
I still find it insane how much damage just water can do
I can only imagine the feeling of coming back to where your house USED to be just earlier that day. Wondering if you're in the right spot then realizing yup, your house is gone.
Did people really think the formation of the earth would just Stop?😂
Loving the new Yellowstone patch! The new terrain is pretty neat
Bro I drove on some of those roads when I went back in 2019
Very happy to hear it flooded!
Just had bad flooding in Virginia. Houses, trees, and cars all swept away like thin air. The rain was so awful, at one point you couldn’t even see 20ft in front of you.
We need that here in the southwest. Maybe not all at once, but we need it badly.
@@XploreAz We need that twice as much lol
All of us desert states need water really bad we've been in a drought for years now. Not getting enough snow in the winter is 1 major cause and now California wants to use water we rely on in 4 states already
@@kristilicea1472 Not trying to be mean but --------> "All of us desert states need water really bad we've been in a drought for years now" Who would have thought the desert.... in a drought??
@@XploreAz literally this monsoon season hasn't really delivered much rain here in southern Arizona
Sending my deepest thoughts and prayers to anyone who was affected by this terrible disaster 🙏🏻
@@KennyMcCormick5467 shut up
@@KennyMcCormick5467 Like your bad and insensitive humor
Nobody was harmed why would people live near the deadliest volcano right now on earth. Unless you wanna die by sitting on the road like a maniac
Its just nature doing its thing lmao its not a disaster
@@ryanruiz ever heard the term "Natural disaster"??
One of the inherent dangers of living close to water. You can't predict how much water will come your way
The thing that's changed is the fact that it made certain areas virtually impossible for vehicles to get through. Yay for wildlife 😏 nature will just take over those areas now🤗
Oh yes, sound nice to me :)
They will simply build a road or a bridge and nature will continue doing what it does .
@@shari9721 so true
Mother nature just being herself! What a powerful sight to watch!
It’s beautiful how nature will forever overpower man
Mother Nature always wins
I just left there this Monday couldn’t really tell that much
It’s not devastating but remodeling. Earth always changes, nothing ever the same.
I lived 45 minutes from Yellowstone for a long time
Its just nature, if us humans didn't put things in the way then the "damage" would go unnoticed very quickly. We need to stop acting shocked when a river floods, it will always happen.
True we complain when a natural disasters happen
You’re so right! Let me tear down my house right now so it doesn’t get flooded👍
@@clayvanvacter3972 Do i detect some sarcasm? lol
Dang now I want to visit
Watch people blame humanity when Yellowstone erupts.
This weather is CRAZY! I LIVE UP NORTH IN WISCONSIN AND ITS USUALLY FREEZING, IT HASNT BEEN BELOW 70° OUTSIDE IN WEEKS!! 😡
its july
More proof of human influenced climate change, showing the direct correlation and the trend which all will occur more often and more severely.
Nature doing what nature do
Amazing
Thoughts and prayers from my comfortable couch
Awesome.
Thats crazy
the earth is so beautiful
I was stuck in Gardiner when this happened and was on that road the day before.
Beautiful
Sad to see the destruction and the danger that comes upon people. Nature will continue as it always has for billions of years. We need to realize we can’t control nature but we can look for danger signs and pay attention to our natural instincts when danger is imminent. Always check with ranger stations & weather reports.
Yup its just nature, its only destruction and disaster when you put humans into the equation. It will happen no matter what. 👍
The issue is that even with our technology and instincts, humans still cannot accurately predict!
Flooding timing and levels
Storm timing and severity (without technology)
Volcanic eruption timing and strength (even with technology)
Earthquake timing and strength (even with technology)
Tsunami size and strength (even with technology)
Humanity has great achievements, but nature is infinitely more destructive than any weapon that humanity could possibly build.
@@Ember_Prime🧢 humans have nukes.🤦♂️
@@o.v4069 but can humans just detonate something with absolutely nobody knowing when it will happen or how strong the explosion will be?
Can humans accurately predict the timing and magnitude of a tsunami every time?
Can humans accurately predict the timing and magnitude of a volcanic eruption every time?
Can humans accurately predict the timing and magnitude of a tornado every time?
Can humans accurately predict the timing and magnitude of a tornado every time?
The answer is no. There will always be something in the universe that is more destructive than whatever humans can build.
Awesome
Let Mother Nature takes it course
it has happened many times before - it's called Mother Nature
2012 rings some bell
''roads closed'' is a pretty generous way of saying the land the road used to lay on doesnt exist anymore
They will be out there with bulldozers and excavators trying to force nature to their ideas again next week. With the same end results.
insane how powerful water can be
That's a natural wash. When you build a road in the way and change the land, that happens.
Nature doing what it does.
Imagine if someone who works night shifts slept on that house where all of a sudden they woke up knowing that their house is broken due to a house falling on the waterfall.
SOOOOO TRUUEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
VERRYYY GOODDD!!!!
wants to get revenge and takes over the world lmao
really? someone sleeps on their their ROOF!!!! and a waterfall??!!!! LOL
I wonder how that canyon formed in the first place. Hmmm
learn GEOGRAPHY and you WILL KNOW!!!!!!
I'm sending prayers to everyone around the world
Thank you
@Moonlight what
I'm also a victim of a natural disaster. Your life is never the same after.
Ignore that idiot as long as you're ok your life will be ok👍
@@KennyMcCormick5467 no one cares.
@@KennyMcCormick5467
YOU, toddler. 👶🍼💩
@@KennyMcCormick5467 i care about "life is good" and I care about you. No one has to ask me to say that.
@@Life-is-G00d I get it, it's a troll....but you didn't have to murder em
Floods,famine,fires,plague..😨
All because some billionaires want to burn more fuel
@@bjonkofficial or because we love our electricitiy powered homes with full time ac
@@bjonkofficial Yeah, you don't use electricity huh?
@@havsumora obviously! Never claimed I didn’t. But billionaires don’t just use electricity, they use private jets instead of hour long drives.
Where at the end of times 🙃🙃
Holy be careful God Bless
It's just Mother Nature reminding us who's boss
Mother Earth just taking back her land.
Visit there last year in may, that the same road I was driving on and I’m shock it’s now destroyed
Its Mother nature. Can't be stopped
Good.
Nothing will last forever
You make it sound like a tragedy! Damage suffered by loved park lost forever. Its just reality. Like calm down.
Ready for the next season of Yellowstone
Get over it!!! Yellowstone has been flooding since water formed on planet Earth!!!
That’s fine let the water come we need it
Two things we can't escape, Mother Nature and Father Time...
So think of the water flow when the waters receded from the flood and how fast the cuts could be made.
I am out here right now. Its pretty crazy. I saw a canoe in a tree.
I hope all the missing people emerge from Yellowstone National Park and all national parks
The weather is crazy!!! Cant even do anythin outside with 100+ temps😡
Your right
Lol I can 🤣
@Alan Rhyan her right to what, play outside?
@@KennyMcCormick5467
Go play in traffic. 👶🍼💩
I work in it every day. Boo hoo
It’s just Mother Nature taking back what’s hers.
Climate change really speaks well and gives us the message clearly.
@@Whendovescry215 you're next
@@coltonkleins probably an annoying bot
@@captainamerica1940 im not saying climate change doesnt exist, because it does. but at what point do just chalk it up to a freak disaster? some bad things will happen regardless of climate change.
Bro of course the climate is gonna change, did you really think it was gonna stay the same forever 💀💀💀
read bk of revelation; its unfolding before our eyes...
*I'm suprised you guys did not blame this on climate change*
A while ago in myrtle beach there was a flooding. Glad everyone or some people survived.
That's a dangerous place anyway....we stopped going there !
@@Former_Pastorexactly, we don't go anymore either, too much crime there
@@Former_Pastor it’s not dangerous
We fly there then go to loris for a some days then go to myrtle for fun
The world is crumbling right before our eyes.
i think you need to learn GEOGRAPHY!!!!!! and USE common sense!!!!!
This is Mama Nature redistributing its material.
I hope they saved all that water.
That’s good
We need this in Texas
I cannot tell you how the militant environmentalists within our federal government and Parks Services celebrate these events. Every private structure that is washed away will NEVER be permitted to be rebuilt within the park. During large scale wildfires within national parks it’s common for strategic defensive lines to be drawn with disregard for private structure protection. Ask an honest US Forest Service fireman.
I sure hope the Dutton ranch is okay.
isn't that the normal cycle of rivers? it is very harsh to look at as abad thing mand label it as "devastating" when rivers aren't really a stagnant thing.. rivers errode land and grow wider that is their life cycle..
Save our National Parks ❤! It's what makes America unique and holds magnificent adventures and sights.
well for once it isnt humans causing the issue
Crazy thing to happen. But damn its amazing to watch, Mother nature is dope.
Hey.. just be happy they're getting rain
The water was much needed
That’s great for animals and their population growth
California oughta be thankful it’s a flood and not another forest fire
Roads and houses have no place there in the first place
Damage? It’s nature being nature
I didn't forget MonkaW
Oh Yogi, what have you done now... 😅
I hope everybodyis fine.
the us is falling apart literally
Going to Yellowstone in a few weeks hopefully it doesn't get worse...
It's amazing people call themselves engineers yet they build a road right next to a river which rivers continuously change.😂😂
nothing in life is permanent tho, so I think they did pretty good.
that's why they get paid the big bucks.....lol
I guarantee that you don't want to pay the taxes required to build everything to withstand all 1,000 year events.
If they were smart, they will permanently leave that closed off. There’s no reason to rebuild there…
So some parts of America is having floods and some having drought.
🙏
Everyone ok
Meanwhile you kick the dirt in Texas you get a dust cloud
not the first time NOR the last!!!!!
Woah.
Flooding...drought...what's the deal with all this.
I’m hoping we get to see more ads in TH-cam next year
Wow that right there would put a damper on anyone's day
Like...who bro...
Totally.
That’s life
