Heavy flooding in Yellowstone National Park causes evacuations

Yellowstone National Park will remain closed through Tuesday and Wednesday at minimum, according to the National Park Service.

In a Facebook update Tuesday morning, Park County, Montana, officials stated extensive flooding had washed out roads and bridges, left communities isolated and even made drinking water unsafe in some areas.

Monday, all entrances to the park were closed due to heavy flooding, rockslides and extremely hazardous conditions. Many bridges and roads in the park are no longer operational.

One video recorded by the park’s helicopter manager showed flood conditions on the Gardner River where portions of the road between the North Entrance and Mammoth Hot Springs had been wiped out.

In Carbon County, the community of Red Lodge is experiencing power outages and some areas of the town are under mandatory evacuation.

An emergency shelter has been set up in Bozeman and additional shelters may be set up in Livingston if needed.
