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.

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 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.
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.
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.

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. ❤
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.

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.
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.
' beautifully rainy / rivery in the weather season... keep gooing more rainy allday - allnight... bring clean water to the los angeles area that help less drought
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.
I've been looking to buy affordable land or a fixer upper, in this part of the country this might be the opportunity? prices have been out of control everywhere, I feel bad for those that lost everything, but as I said when we) humans come in and try to change how Nature works for their own reasons bad things happen. look at the Salton Sea. once a thriving tourist attraction now a toxic environmental disaster, and it wasn't global warming that did it , we did it. California can't survive without taking water from a source far away. Las Vegas has been on artificial life support since the beginning, you can't support that Many people in the desert without robbing a resource from another location. when will we wake up and stop buying into this? normal people don't know what goes into building in places not able to handle thousands! the people with profits as their only concern will lie and be misled to sell a dream that can't Last. I was only kidding about buying land here ! let it heal .
@Ken Richner but at least LV is searching for solutions. CA, particularly LA & some snootier areas in the East Bay, are just burning through the water like it is all for them and their pools & lawns & golf courses. Selfish people never learn, because they are never taught to care how they affect others. No empathy, no sympathy.. just whining about them & their petty ass bullshit. (My apologies.. I'm terribly pissed at the ignorance of the few, and the inability to teach them.)
Wow. 😮 (interuption: I just heard the Valley winds howl like in winter) Now, Climate Change is Human caused. 8 Billion Humans is Human caused, too. Global warming is Human caused. We run this Planet, remember? The Humans.
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.
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. There are millions of truck drivers & ride-share drivers; mommies in minivans with toddlers & schoolkids; high school kids & college students.. all whose lives are at risk of fatal traffic accidents caused by "normal" wear & tear, which has been put aside for "later when there's enough funding". That funding is presently being absolutely _useless_ at the southern border. Meanwhile, potholes continue to damage vehicles, and grow larger & larger.
Today's issues ARE because of the previous Republican Administration, and, the Republicans still supporting Trump. We are finally having Public Hearings about the January 6, 2021, attempted overthrow of our US Constitution. The USA is in recovery, but, very slowly.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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

In a few years we will have flying cars. Military secretly uses them.
No…..but they will anyway.
That is making a huge mess.
I'm glad that nature/critters in Yellowstone park will get a much needed break from filthy tourists!
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. :-)

Hmmm. Your logic is sound.
@@dr.jamesolack8504 I have an astute sense of the obvious :-)
Very sad 😥
2:35 those idiots standing there any sec they might disappear in this water it that street collapse
Remember my fellow Americans, The high Water mark is the Law ! Don't infringe on my rights. Thank you.
Time to move y'all. It's not going to stop flooding. Time to relocate!
Them people are too close the road could collapse curiosity’s killed the cat.
I guess we now know where the flood plan is and how much it covers!
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..
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
Your Montana storm system is trying to flood us up here in Alberta now.
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.
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
Hey its nice and flat here, let's build the town here.
kinda looks like that entire town was built in a flood plain.
