Social media has been overwhelmed today with shocking videos of flood waters tearing through communities around southern Montana and through Yellowstone National Park.
Could it be described as flooding of Biblical proportions? I don't know if you can go that far, but check out this video from flooding in Yellowstone National Park, to Natural Bridge, flooding down the streets of Red Lodge, House Rock being nearly overtaken on the Gallatin River, and a riverfront home on the brink of being washed down the river in Gardiner, Montana.
Massive flooding on Monday, and triple digit temperatures by Friday. That is Montana weather for you. And, just a reminder: it is not even officially Summer yet. Here's a regional look from the National Weather Service.
The flooding has managed to wash out roads and bridges in the park, not to mention the hazardous rock slides and other issues involving the large amounts of water.
As rivers and streams continue to rage, many parts of Montana are seeing near-record flooding which has resulted in the temporary closing of Yellowstone.
