I grew up in Billings, Montana and am very familiar with this whole area. I lived all but 24 of my 70 years there and have never seen flooding this bad. There were years when there was minor flooding, but never like this. It breaks my heart to see Red Lodge like this. It's such a pretty town and has such an interesting history. This will be a long and painful recovery.
I was in Yellowstone literally all last week, it was amazing a beautiful. So sad to see the towns and the lovely people there go through this. I pray they all get through this. Not to mention all the animals. I hope the baby bears 🐻 and mama bears we saw are okay and all the other animals as well.
If "prayers" are so powerfully popular, why are Humans experiencing so many disasters all over the whole Planet, caused by other Humans? And, don't ya think 4 THOUSAND religions are a bit much? We cannot progress when so many Humans have religious delusions. I see no logic or reason in WAR.
@@Diana1000Smiles I won’t blame god for what Mankind does. We all have Free will and the devil is having a hay day unfortunately. A relationship with God is deeply personal and I work on my own relationship with god, it’s up to me for him to know me, and I to know him. It’s up to others to do as well. I don’t subscribe to organized religion. The problem with organized religion is humans can be so corrupt and fallible. I live in Mormon central I see what false religions does on a vault basis , even to good intentioned people. I find most religions very cult like. Religion got high jacked long ago but the people at the top who control everything and most aren’t aware. I wouldn’t blame god for wiping us out, mankind seems to be doing it all by themselves quite well.
In 2013 Karen Gardner helped the city of loveland CO recover from a tragic flood, by all accounts a blessing to her community. In 2020 the community repaid her by having the local police beat, torture and imprison Karen Gardener, after finally cornering her picking wildflowers beside the road. You are the one that should stay safe, Good luck and don't get caught picking flowers by the cops.
My friend from Billings was hospitalized at the Red Lodge Hospital and she along with the other patients were evacuated and taken to Roundup, MT. I'm in Missoula and did not realize how bad the flooding was until I saw videos of it.
My heart goes out to all affected by the flooding. I do hope the no lives were lost in this. One can rebuild from this as where there is life, there is hope
Do you mean rebuilding in a different location? Or, is the Governor of MT going to pay for flooding damages? Climate Changes will go on. Lots of evidence exists.
I grew up south of here in Northwest Wyoming (1960’s -1970’s) and we used to drive up and visit the petting zoo. Praying everyone (people and critters) are safe!
@@HeathWatts - I was referring to a petting zoo in Red Lodge Montana … not the animals in the National Park! I grew up visiting Yellowstone National Park multiple times each year for over 20 years; in the era when there were still bear jams from the bears blocking traffic to get fed! So I do know the difference!!! Don’t judge people based on your limited knowledge!
@@janvafa9959 Ha! Sorry about that. I've been going to Yellowstone for >50 years and grew up in MT too. I've heard people who would like to eliminate national parks refer to Yellowstone as a petting zoo, so I get angry about the term. Sorry.
An ever changing Mother Earth and we're just here to take part in it. In the end it's all just "things" that can be replaced, if necessary. Hope folks were able to help one another evacuate to higher ground. Grew up in Billings and fished Rock Creek and the Stillwater. Beautiful country, beautiful people.
I don't think Mother Earth works that way. We gotta change our habits and addictions, ourselves. We Humans should probably listen to more Music and dance like it's 1999. ✌💜
Oh, wait, about the comment "tourist traps"? I think Montana should be a tourist destination for All Americans and not simply the Billionaires Paradise Gianforte and crew want to make us. Regular Americans and people all over Earth deserve places to enjoy, too. And, ofcourse our grizzly bears like the Humans. Climate changes will change so many parts of this Century, I hope we treat each other with more compassion. ❤

Actually they are cheaper now. Was at Home depot last night. 2×4 has came down $2 since last year. But good luck finding someone to do the building. This should slow up some of the out of staters coming in.
How fast did the water rise? Was it almost instant or did it gradually occur. I'm just trying to visualize what this looks like from ground level over time in order to help wrap my brain around this. I've seen floods before but with drones it gets a little more personal (closer to people and homes from the air). Hope everyone and animals are ok.
We had a lot of snow melt too quickly because the temperature rose fast. Over just a couple of weeks it seemed. Then it rained like crazy and snowed in the upper elevations again. Next week is supposed to be higher temperature, so another rapid snow melt may occur, I really hope not 🙏

Southwest CO here and visibility and air quality suck due to forest fires south of us. I sure wish Bill Gates (of hell) and all them other globalist assholes would quit manipulating the weather.
It isn’t a river, it’s a rather small creek. Red Lodge is a beautiful little town nestled in a mountain valley and been there well over 100 years. It began as a mining town back in the 1880s. To my knowledge, the creek has never flooded like this before. Many of the original buildings and homes are still there, including the bank building that Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid planned to rob back in the day. Many towns back then were built next to a creek for obvious reasons. Your flippancy is unnecessary at this time.
I wonder if this area got a real bad ice storm last winter. I've noticed where I live if you have a terrible ice storm where trees are destroyed, and go through people's roofs and power outages, the following spring early summer they can have historic floods. but it has to be a crazy ice storm, not a 1/4 of an inch but where golf courses have to replace mature trees. weather is one long patter that extends back in time to the beginning. This Tuesday's weather isn't just this Tuesday's weather it's part of a long and complicated pattern.
With the shortage on building materials I must wonder how many people will be screwed by the Administration's fantastic economy we are now privileged to be experiencing?
@@scottengland8879 yeah, he's the guy who had made promises to do something about America's crumbling infrastructure. Bridges, highways, freeways.. roads in general are dangerous af. My husband has to work on those roads.. if he doesn't bring this trailer to this place, then people won't receive the goods they've ordered.

The land was cheap, but it was a FLOODPLAIN! Mother nature needs room on either side of the riverbanks where nothing shall be built. Then the land will soak up the water and no people or buildings will be damaged. Lets learn from this.

Thank you. I have lived in southwest Montana all my life, 60 years, and it is so sad what is happening here with land and home prices. The locals are getting pushed out because of the prices. What the people moving in fail to realize is that without us locals, who's going to tend to their every need? That's a rhetorical question, but a very real problem in our area.
@@MB-mh6xv Yes, I agree. And I may add . . . so many people from out of state are coming in and they have been driving up the prices. Even rents going for $1,500 to $2,000 a month, not including the utilities. And you have dishonest real estate agents making a quick buck, ordering drop and run surveys making long time locals properties worth less. Bozeman area especially bad for finding real estate.
how horrifying…but yet idiots say global warming isn’t a thing -my great grandmother lived there-‘many happy summers playing all over the area, such a beautiful town, just beautiful
If it was real, we would have had bigger problems by now. Look at all the things that should’ve happened by now as a result of “global warming” but haven’t. They’ve made so much money off of the global warming hoax
I have traveled out west and its beautiful.I feel for everyone going thru the flooding.What is bad is they don't have the sewer system to handle any kind of heavy rains.I had family that lived in Casper, Wyoming. We were gone for the day while visiting and came back and it had rained in the mountains, our car got flooded because the water had nowhere to go. They had never heard of flood coverage of any kind. Had to call insurance agent in Iowa to get car cleaned up .
Like what happened in Boulder CO.. RE taxes extra assessment will fix the problem.. build a series of pools that can take the cascading of this type of hi water and then have a local fishing permit..
A small town northeast of Yellowstone National Park at the end of one of the most beautiful roads in America - Route 212 from the Cooke City exit from Yellowstone through the Beartooth Mountains.
That won't stop developers and the local politicians they OWN from building in floodplains. Neither will all the condolences, hearts and prayers in the comments. It will just make everyone else's insurance premiums go up. So, let's all pretend to be shocked -- until the next flood.

This is what happens when you go from being bone dry to suddenly soaked. The compacted soil can't absorb water that fast.

how horrifying…but yet idiots say global warming isn’t a thing -my great grandmother lived there-‘many happy summers playing all over the area, such a beautiful town, just beautiful
If it was real, we would have had bigger problems by now. Look at all the things that should’ve happened by now as a result of “global warming” but haven’t. They’ve made so much money off of the global warming hoax
It came to pass. 😱
Building on flood plain?
Did a dam break? What happened?
I have traveled out west and its beautiful.I feel for everyone going thru the flooding.What is bad is they don't have the sewer system to handle any kind of heavy rains.I had family that lived in Casper, Wyoming. We were gone for the day while visiting and came back and it had rained in the mountains, our car got flooded because the water had nowhere to go. They had never heard of flood coverage of any kind. Had to call insurance agent in Iowa to get car cleaned up .
Your Montana storm system is trying to flood us up here in Alberta now.
Like what happened in Boulder CO.. RE taxes extra assessment will fix the problem.. build a series of pools that can take the cascading of this type of hi water and then have a local fishing permit..
Please, for all of us nowhere near your area. Please detail the location of where this is. Is this Billings Germany?
Montana, USA
I believe
A small town northeast of Yellowstone National Park at the end of one of the most beautiful roads in America - Route 212 from the Cooke City exit from Yellowstone through the Beartooth Mountains.
@Chupacabra
No, it’s Billings, Austria. You were close, though….
@@dr.jamesolack8504 Ok cool dude. Thanks. I heard they were having crappy weather there.
2:35 those idiots standing there any sec they might disappear in this water it that street collapse
Is it really worth rebuilding those roads without massive reinforcements or barriers against the river?
In a few years we will have flying cars. Military secretly uses them.
No…..but they will anyway.
Looks like China got ahold of HARP! Prayers to all suffering from environmental tragedies!
I guess we now know where the flood plan is and how much it covers!
Where is this
Very sad 😥
I came to see if I could see that bridge in this video that got washed away
You can't see the bridge, because it got washed away. :-)
@@joewoodchuck3824
Hmmm. Your logic is sound.
@@dr.jamesolack8504 I have an astute sense of the obvious :-)
kinda looks like that entire town was built in a flood plain.
That is making a huge mess.
I'm sorry what did they expect they built on the river Channel itself I just can't understand the stupidity of not preparing for this
That won't stop developers and the local politicians they OWN from building in floodplains. Neither will all the condolences, hearts and prayers in the comments. It will just make everyone else's insurance premiums go up. So, let's all pretend to be shocked -- until the next flood.
You sound like an idiot
Hey its nice and flat here, let's build the town here.
Time to move y'all. It's not going to stop flooding. Time to relocate!
Remember my fellow Americans, The high Water mark is the Law ! Don't infringe on my rights. Thank you.
