Social media has been overwhelmed today with shocking videos of flood waters tearing through communities around southern Montana and through Yellowstone National Park.

Yellowstone National Park announced it would be closed until at least Thursday (6/16), with reports of many roads washed away, a historic bridge floating down the river, and many tourists stranded at campgrounds.

Videos shared on Facebook show flood waters raging through Red Lodge, Yellowstone, and areas near Gardiner carrying large trees and dangerous debris.
