A birds-eye view of Yellowstone flooding damage

- It will take a lot of work to repair this damage and, in many places, the river has permanently moved meaning new roads will have to be built using new routes.

It is not flood damage, it is geological evolution in action.
Geological evolution is tectonic upheaval or subduction, plate slippage, and earthquakes, NOT rain and snow melt.
@@The_DC_Kid
Yes it is.
Upheaval lifts the crust upward from the bottom. Water erodes the uplifted crust so the uplift is downlowered from the top. Water washes it into the oceans. The oceans floors gather crust material and get heavier and pushing the ocean floors downward. When an ocean crust meats a landmass crust the ocean crust is what gets subducted. When two oceans crust meets the heavier ocean crust gets subducted. The more crust that is suducted the more material the mantle has to cause upheaval and/or volcanoes.
Like it or not, erosion by water or air is part of the geological process.
You mean all the past destructive events weren't from global warming?
Evolution is a Satanic lie.
@@oldtimefarmboy617 , do those processes not only make landslides, rock slides, and mudslides possible, but also sinkholes and erosion happen as well?
The real sign of hope is that the animals in YS Park get a reprieve from millions of idiots trying to interact with them.
Lolol right lol
What a dummy!
Yep, the animals around Mammoth Hot Springs are gonna love the relative peace and quiet for the summer.
I lived next to Glacier park from 2002 till this spring. One issue is going to be the winter snow and temps.
It will be very difficult to impossible to do road construction after November
@@FloridaPete1948 let’s hope so
So very true..... I used to be a seasonal park ranger back in the mid to late 80's. A majority of our calls were usually animal / human interactions, and primarily it was initiated by visitors. Like the guy who tried to put his 6 year old on a bison for a photo opportunity. Or several tourists trying to feed moose. Or even exiting the walkway to get a closer look at a thermal pool... Or the couple who " accidentally" too close to some grizzly cubs to pet them.....
The animals have the park to themselves. They’re going to love it.
@@Rafaelleao1977 haha its funny because some would say the same about you, why did you even comment? You make it sound like your SO offended by this persons comment. Somebody obviously didnt get hugged enough as a kid 🤣
@@Rafaelleao1977 You okay?
@@Rafaelleao1977 Do you know the concept of "Projection" Joe? Your comment screams it... Penelope surely made the comment with a bit of sarcasm towards mans "disturbance" and she has a valid point ;)
LMFAO
yall be nice Joe Grape is the type of person to go shoot up a school because hes mad
So basically no damage was done to nature, just to man made structures. And it will take years to rebuild man made structures on a National Park that is meant to show natures beauty and constant change it has gone through. Interesting
They’ll cut out a new road but it’s going to take time. The wildlife can now enjoy the place all to themselves.
@@penelopelopez8296 Yeah, really. And old Faithful is still working. I think Yellowstone would be fine with out people.
Why not make floating roads?
Mmmm😏
The vast majority of man made structures that were destroyed are outside of the Park.
How is it "damaged"? It's Yellowstone, it's a natural place. Damaging man made things is all it is.
That’s what I was thinking.
exactly!!!
When nature decides its time to redecorate, it's best to simply move out of the way.
Thanks for including the Lamar Valley in the video. Nice to see the bison weren't adversely affected.
I think the park closure and the floods will actually be beneficial to the overall ecosystem of the park.
Shits gay
Agreed fully!
Remember that’s how those canyons and rivers were before mankind interfered
No damage, it's a work of art that benefits nature.
There was lots of insane damage
The whole houses floating away was impressive
And yes a work of art indeed
and you think Art Garfunkel's "art" was finger painting
It’s not damage. It is remodeling. Earth always changes. Nothing remains the same each day.
Great video KSL. One to be shared with family and friends. We were evacuated Monday evening and got to return to our home Tuesday. Thankfully all is OK at home.
In Utah right? Cause thats what they said
@@colecarpenter712 Evacuated in MT, from the flooding in Yellowstone.
This is mother natures our earth is a living breathing world and ever changing and really has nothing to do with climate change. These weather incidents have been going on since the beginning of time. 🌏 💕
And they will keep on. I think it's a beautiful release of stress for the park. Time to let nature relax.
Reminds me of BC in Canada when they had flooding last year. It is amazing how fast they rebuilt the roads and bridges. They worked 24/7 with lots of construction workers.
K
Yellowstone goes up into Canada and down into Mexico. It formed the United State map. Lava beds on I 10 Interstate. All the same. Volcano.
@@MrTownater lllll
If it's natural and nature then it's not damage. Graffiti is damage
If only we could flood in Nevada. We actually need it
Bwahahaha
Lake mead is dropping like 5 feet every 15 days 😫
Floods don’t fix anything including droughts. A good snow pack released slowly over the summer does. Floods destroy things and then run off. No benefit.
Yeah it’s crazy. The PNW is getting so much precipitation but the west is so dry and Arizona is on fire.
Why would anyone sane person build a home or community in a desert? And not expect to have water difficulties
Planet earth is dynamic and ever changing.
Sooooo, does that include the climate too?
@@tedbundy1769 AOC was right, scientists all agree that global warming is real, and that it's caused by the sun🌞!👍😺
@@yamaharider8014 and cow farts. Don't leave that out. That's important. 😆
Climate change is a Chinese hoax.
Just as long it doesn't happen where I live....
Wow, Maybe the bears and the buffalo will now have the land to themselves.
The animals will certainly enjoy the privacy and they won’t miss the humans. At least, no hikers will go missing in that park for a while.
Thank you to all First Responders & those who worked together for the safety of others. God bless🙏📖💕
It’s not damage. It’s nature. Yellowstone’s ecosystem needs these floodings.
How so?
Why is this impacting Utah's tourism industry? Yellowstone isnt in Utah
I know. What????
It spreads into Idaho, maybe they meant Idaho.
I thought that was weird too so I did a little digging. KSL News is based in Salt Lake City Utah and Yellowstone park is relatively close (5 hours by car or bus and a little over an hour by plane) so they are likely talking about transportation industries like bus/plane fares and companies that sell vacation packages?
@Chuck Stegall And partially in Montana and in Idaho, but just barely.
@@JohnLRice five hours from Salt Lake City will get you to four or five different states. I know, I live here.
This is not the news we should be covering.
Thank you KSL for keeping on top of this, Yellowstone is a national treasure and one of the most beautiful places on Earth, but mother nature does not follow the wishes of the people, she does what she does and we have to adept to it. I suspect we will see an influx of Naturalists and others to study how the animals respond to our relative absence, particularly in the Lamar Valley.
Spoiler from the future: they didn't miss us too much
@@dont.ripfuller6587 Well if the human traffic in the Lamar Valley drops by 10X or there abouts there is likely to be some effect on the wildlife. OTH, since there is going to be road work in places then those places will maybe see less wildlife.
Adapt....
@@like10smurfs. -- You can't adapt when you're extinct!
Kinda like they did in 2020..
People just don't learn mother nature will never be tamed
I was lucky went to Yellowstone National Park a week ahead before flood!
Mother Nature reclaiming her land...
We stayed at the Mammoth Hot Springs Lodge the 1st week in March this year. I drove on US89 and several of the other roads in the area. Pretty shocking seeing the damage this flood did.
Nature taking it back!
The wisdom of building roads, and towns, at the bottom of drainage channels needs to be questioned.
looks natural to me. we are the ones who keep building things in places that we shouldnt
They, not we
The buildings destroyed were housing people who worked there so that people like yourself can go there and visit the area comfortably. If we "shouldn't" be there then I hope you don't want any hot meals or places to park an RV or rent a hotel or condo or gas up your vehicle while you go through the area.
Wow! You don't mess with Mother Nature. She has a way of doing what she wants when she wants.
Wow, Alex Camero's commentary was astounding!!! Well worded, he needs to be on national news!!! The best I've ever heard!!
Thanks for keeping us up to date, RVerTV Russ. 👍
Russ is So so Gangster he pays the cost to be the boss while all others pay the buster fee on RVing!
Thank you for your coverage. The video was so informative.
Airforce blocking the sun, you don't need food production! We need hunger games, failed crops this year please!!! I'm tired of homeless people eating
Utah’s tourism industry? Is there another Yellowstone National Park I’m not aware of…?
I was thinking the same thing! More like Wyoming and Montana...not Utah!
It's a natural occurrence of nature when things classified as catastrophes are only the natural forces of nature that have shaped this planet for eons of time.
And yet we act as if or asphalt and concrete will withstand and then it's news when in fact the earth is continually evolving with or without us as humanity ..
💯.
Wish people were more aware of this notion, your way of thought. Seriously. You 🎯
Thanks couldn't have said it better. Stay safe.
That's exactly right.
Earth: "Sorry naive humans. I have some modifications to do here"
Humans never thought concrete could withstand mother nature. Shut up
Nature is impressive
It's not damage, it's mother nature trying to repair the damage mankind has done to the land, animals, plants, etc.
Nature speaks. Everyone listens.
gold panning is going to be good this year 😉
Now that's the most positive comment so far! Have to pu a Fisher GoldBug detector.👍😺
I'm so glad the Montana Governor can help from all the way in Italy.
You mean our California born & bred wanna be Governor?!
Amazing how powerful God is... He told us total calamity
Oh please. This has been going on since the beginning of time. Has nothing to do with your "God."
@@blueeyedwolf2205 you'll perish for lack of knowledge. Sad. I'll pray you find the Creator. The Almighty is Real.
@@blueeyedwolf2205 there was no beginning of time before God. God created the beginning and spoke the universe into existence 👀
@@LIGHTNINGMEDIACO , okay LOL 😂
@@LIGHTNINGMEDIACO ; LOL 😂
Well if a person actually LOOKED at the path of the river to the lay of the land.
Its the people who were stupid to place their homes /businesses in the path.
You can clearly see with GPS old river flow paths.
Nature does what nature does
Like 90 percent of Yellowstone is in Wyoming yet they only mentioned how this affected Utah and Montana. Brilliant.
Wow! Much love to all stay safe
Good reporting. Thanks.
Does flood waters feed into colorado river? need alot of water down here AZ & NV
Exactly what I was thinking, but I'm in Socal, lol.
Please look at some maps of the river and where it flows.
This is great news for all the animals inside the park as they will get a much needed break from humans
INDEED..I live by the park.
Send some water over to CA, seems like we are always under drought alerts!
More drought than rain since 2000. And yes, global warming has everything to do with it. We need to stop burning fossil fuel and use renewable energy, more public transport, more EVs. Pisses me off that Musk just raised the price on Teslas. Glad I bought mine three years ago.
Makes me think of a few years ago when the rivers flooded here in Colorado. Tons of road and property damage, it was crazy to see all the houses/cabins that got pulled into the waters.
Makes me think of a time i had a dream and pee in the pool.
Yep, I was in the Poudre canyon and in lyons the day after highwater working with the utility companies to restore them and hauling rock out of a quarry to build an emergency dyke I'm chastines grove to save the fresh water supply pipes that fed a few towns and cities. It was crazy, had to fly in all our tools and power poles with a helicopter! Horrible tragedy but it was incredible to be in the middle of it and see the destruction. Once in a lifetime!
Cooke City, MT is still open for business. Travelers can get there via Beartooth pass.
@Fuzzy Knuckle oh yeah I was out there too fixing utilities for REA for months after the flood
What was the cause of the Yellowstone flooding? Snowmelt?
Looks beautiful to me.
That footage is from outside Yellowstone Park.
Not all of it. I believe that one road shot is the one going from the north entrance to Mammoth.
Flooding proves how fast it can change the landscape in just days. Not millions of years.
Mother nature on the move.
We have the same catastrophe in Baybay city, Philippines. From days of rains the mountains gave way and swallowed the whole villages under it. Climate change is real. We see it every year in the Pacific islands. But we don't give up. After the disasters we stand up and rebuild what we lost. One of my bucket list was visiting yellow stone after the Pandemic. I guess maybe next year. Stay strong and stay Safe.🙏🙏🙏
Of course climate change is real or we would still be in the ice age!
There has been change for millions of years. Mother Earth will always change our landscape.
@@monikaw1369 No, you're wrong. Global warming is real and is caused by burning too much fossil fuel, which has put way too much co2 in the atmosphere and the oceans. Get a clue and stop denying science!
Wish they would just leave Yellowstone alone. Get away from it and let the animals live without people
its wild how the reporter's first concern was for the tourism industry and not there has been a trend on the west coast for devastating floods
Thank you God
GOD created it and HE does as HE pleases. I guess HE decided to rearrange a few things. For the good to save lives perhaps. HE knows the end from the beginning.
Shut up
🤦♂️
Thanks for cancer God!
@@spreadneck2063 YHWH didn't Create cancer. It's an aberration of creation. Most of it caused by chemicals released on Earth. Gotta alkalize our bodies bc cancer needs an acid state to survive. Gotta raise our PH level, and cut out sugar, bc cancer thrives on sugar. Most people are ignorant, and the medical field gets rich from it👎....😺
@@yamaharider8014 cancer has been around since the dawn if man. Yes it's worse now but it's not new
So glad to hear people were safely 🙏 rescued. Sounds like the park should open soon.
Hopefully it wont be open soon, the animals need a break from humans
The park will open this week. They are allowing cars with even/odd plates getting in.
@@margaretthatcher6828 that sucks!
@@kvedwards1971 Just the southern loop will be open. North and Northeast entrances are CLOSED for the summer season.
The news reporter did a very nice job reporting on Yellowstone nicely worded
But he is not human lol he said something that animals and humans will half to get use to
@@dylanmccormick5338
I I must have not been listening or just didn't hear that part
People should not be building roads, or buildings, right by rivers, lakes and other bodies of water, and especially if there are also mountains, and/or cliffs, that abut such places. Moreover, there needs to be more reservoirs in that part of the country anyway, as having things like that are good safety measures against droughts, as well as wildfires. Granted, building tunnels into mountains might be more expensive, as well as somewhat more limiting, but do you all want washed out roads or do you all want roads that are more likely to stay open through both massive floods AND blizzards?
Mother Nature always wins.
It is all part of a natural cycle of events that happens then and now. Things will be back to normal, lessons learned will be put to good use and everything will be hunkydory.
Prayers sent
Why would anyone lay a road parallel with the river for miles? Who decided that the roads curves would be so safe if it flooded. Doesn't everybody know that a flooded river jumps it's banks in the curves and all the curves in the road were washed out... Duh
FOR SAFETY THIS HAS A PURPOSE
Glad I went there last year before this. 😳
Believe it or not, in Wyoming unexpected things are the norm. We don't see it as bad. We see it as life. If you ever want to test yourself, live out here for a year.
@@tedbundy1769 I gotta ask, how long have you lived here? Lots of these comments in all these threads this week.
@@MB-mh6xv all together, about 40 years. Do you live here as well?
Not living anywhere near Ted Bundy.
Best news in the country
That's a lot of water. People watching from Vegas and Arizona this is what water looks like.
I'm wondering if they had a way to channel some of that water south to deal with the droughts. I bet 44 billion dollars could have gotten it done
Man did the damage. It’s just Mother Nature reclaiming what’s hers.
Prayers go out to the family's that lost almost everything they have except there lives. Stay strong 💪 remember God loves you and will help you get through this valley of tragedy 🙏 💘
Amen
Yellowstone is bad. It was at its boiling point over 1,000 degrees. The ground was open and S2 gas was killing Bison. And Animals were going nut attacking humans. S2 gas is from molten rock. Real bad. So keep praying.
Normal way of mother nature at work. Humans are just in the way.
Water runs down hill; man made dams cut off the water needed for fish to run upstream. Mother nature is letting us know whose in charge.
It's a good thing if it affects tourism. Every year, some idiot tries to pet a bison or a grizzly or wild horse and gets messed up. Two years ago, some Japanese guy was bitten by a rattlesnake while trying to take a selfie with it.
Wyoming is not a petting zoo. The reason people visit is because they don't have what it takes to live here.
& Ted Bundy lives there...
Come'On Man! Lets hope this flooding does'nt impact the annual Bison People Huckin Follies.
@@dls951 When an animal attacks a tourist, the animal is tracked sown and killed. But yes, it's funny. It's even funnier when moose chase bicyclists. Sometimes the moose catches them. 😆
@@tedbundy1769 Only carnivores, Bison dont hunt meat for food.
@@dls951 that's not true. If a bison gets aggressive with tourists, it is put down. Same with big horns, moose, and prong horns at Yellowstone.
Rampant inflation, nothing is being built back better. How many lies must you endure?
They’re not enduring anything it’s what they want. If you started telling them the truth they can no longer live in their fantasy land of lies and they’d be offended.
Note to the people haters posting comments: you are very, very small. All the best to the authorities in getting the infrastructure back in place.
Think maybe Mother Nature is saying ok guys this place needs a wee break so back off thanks by the way It’s flooded good luck
Omg actual news!!! Not just slanted political bs!! A miracle!!!
so this shouldnt be a place of interest then to visit? like all parts of the park are closed?
Any chance that water can be diverted to the southwest states?
God bless God loves you
Please don't give Elon a contract to fix this area. He would put in a subway.
And it would work and be better for the environment.
@@SoloHiker1 In Yellowstone? With its geology? Whoo! Well, he got a contract to do quite a bit of tunneling in Vegas for more subway stops. But it is turning into a boondoggle. (The car version - not train).
Ranger Smith,Yogi and BooBoo bears want to welcome everyone to visit Jellystone.
I heard that the national guard will be conducting air drops of jeans and underwear for the bison to wear on their horns since the tourist have left.
Literally starts the "Yellowstone" video with footage of the Grand, a different National Park.
The Prime Creator Of This Earth Has Issued A Cease And Desist Letter To All Politicians
The ground has been opening up and venting out. At Yellowstone. The Mega Volcano is 5 states wide. Covers the map. If the falts open. Bridges will fall to the ground
Lake mead is drying up and Yellowstone is flooding 😮. Bring some of that water over here to Nevada
Where they are showing is north of Yellowstone, they have had some minor flooding yes, but not what they are showing here. People who were just there confirmed this. They are shutting down the park due to the heating and sulfur problems from the caldera. But don't expect for anyone to tell the truth, especially in this day and age. Cheers.
So why should I trust a random UA-cam account to be telling the truth? I trust local news on the same level.
When it blows, it'll be huge! 😺
give it a few months they will destroy more of it just to put down new roads and bridges .. they should just block it off completely and let mother take it back over .. some things just aren't meant to be takin advantage of
Where the roads are washed out, build bridges. Not a tragedy, no one was killed. Adaptability is key.
Wished it was that simple.
With so much damage it makes one wonder about the competence of the initial planners and engineers.
Glória a Ti, Senhor, porque sei que esta noite será calma porque estamos em tuas mãos abençoadas. Obrigado por tudo que você vai continuar a fazer por mim enquanto eu durmo.
I went to Yellowstone twice long time ago, I guess animals will be quiet this summer. What is destroyed? Human buildings, not that important :) It was on the way of the great water.
There's a huge problem like this at southern border right now.
What are you talking about? Not all stories have to do with immigration.
What is the problem?Did your fat mama get stuck in a hole in the wall.
there is a 500 year flood at the southern border??
It's not even damage but fill they had dumped temporarily on known flood areas.
Why isn't all this flood water being diverted to the dryazs Colorado River, instead of to the swollen Missouri River? :(
That park is going to be closed for quite awhile. And I truly feel sorry for the communities near Yellowstone. Most of them rely heavily on tourists dollars. First COVID, then this..... Really sad.....
It's all part of the plan. By 2030 you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
It should be closed to most motorized traffic anyways.
This would have been worse if they didn't use thirsty cement.
There thirsty cement saved there land from completely being destroyed.
Your voice drives me bonkers bro
