mader656 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Yesterday 11,000 cfs today 19,000 normal for day 3000 Yesterday went for a drive This was what we saw. Today both the 2 Washouts happened. Up by stillwater mine mosy of the miners made it out except a small group needed to look after the place. And tend to any surprises and stranded hikers coming off the trailheads. This is the only road to the mine that does not require a dirt bike. There is another portal but the other washout prevents its use. Rain has stopped and rivers are cresting. rock creek in redlodge is as bad or worse. As is the Boulder River to the west. The upper yellowstone is at record. Yellowstone stone Park is closed. A 60 mile long irrigation ditch has blown out. I am fine at my house. We don't have the spring run off to deal with. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poor farmer/logger Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Been following on Facebook this afternoon. Bad deal all around for sure. Hopefully everyone gets out ok. @hardtail been raining pretty steady all afternoon here. Coming down hard as I type. No flooding dangers here at all but manitou springs/watrous had some streets wash out and buildings in low areas flooded out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike newman Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 ...some things never change,,I have spent the last few months , endeavouring to prevent further damage on some of the Rainbow Stations about 30 miles of river frontage...Haven't finished, for various reasons...and now the river is rageing again...it can destroy in hours what takes us months to repair.... Its globull warming you know....I have always maintained its actually the rain that causes the floods.....however it depends on the education level ...as to whom you tell this unlikely thought process, too Mike 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH Forever Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Very interesting. Glad I visited Yellowstone last summer and not this summer. Where do these rivers flow to? I hear so much lately about dry conditions in the SW and the level of Lake Powell and other reservoirs. Just curious if any of these rivers drain into the Colorado.

They are tributaries of the yellowstone, dumps into the Missouri and then Mississippi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art From Coleman Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I'll bet that the sound and sight of the Yellowstone River falls in the park are now even more awe inspiring than this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even look at a map, just assumed this was west of the continental divide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
