Wow. I have been glued to the internet, watching the flood news coming from the upper Yellowstone River and its tributaries.
Red Lodge is a mess. Rock Creek is flowing down Main Street. Many bridges washed out.
Highway 89 from Gardiner to Livingston washed out in Yankee Jim Canyon. It will take the rest of the year to repair it, once the flood waters recede.
Carbella bridge below Yankee Jim Canyon washed away. There is great footage on the websites of the major papers.
All entrances into Yellowstone National Park closed. Visitors within the park being evacuated.
Record level flows:

Yellowstone at Corwin Springs is 2.35 feet above the record. Livingston is a tad over record, but the gage is malfunctioning.

Gallatin is flooding, but no records.

Stillwater at record by 2.78 feet.

Clarks Fork at record by 3 feet.
Yellowstone River is supposed to crest at Miles City Thursday morning at a gage height of 13.3 ft. Flood stage occurs at 14 feet.
