Home is swept away by surging Yellowstone River amid 'unprecedented' flooding that's closed national park for first time in 34 YEARS as families are rescued on rafts The Daily Mail from the UK published a vivid story about Paradise Valley flooding complete with pertinent photos and videos.
It is a good read and can be accessed here.
The multiple videos at the bottom of the article show flooding in a suburban setting. The scenes do not look familiar to us. Maybe Livingston? More likely Red Lodge?
If anyone can identify the town please post it via a reply below. |

Flood impacts reverberate in Livingston The Livingston Enterprise reports:
"Three days after historic flooding decimated parts of Park County, area residents and business owners are slowly moving forward with resolution and hope.
Livingston resident Heather Muldoon owns Heather’s Garden Service and Flower Farm on Ninth Street Island.
Her business was “annihilated” by floodwaters, she said.
“It’s gone. The greenhouse is mud. A shed full of merchandise floated away,” said Muldoon. “I don’t know how many plants I lost, but we’re still finding plants in the mud.”
On Thursday, Muldoon was scrambling to set up a temporary plant and flower shop outside a friend’s house at 1115 W. Clark St. She said the public was welcome to stop by and shop. Muldoon is having a plant sale on Friday at 10 a.m.
“With the help of incredible volunteers and friends, we saved so many plants,” said Muldoon.
Paradise Valley resident Joe Phelps was working overtime on Thursday to clean up his property near the Yellowstone River. Phelps owns a 3,000-square-foot house, guest house and barn situated just 150 feet from the river."
