Record Flooding Forces Closure of Yellowstone National Park
-----------------------------------------------------------

In Montana, record flooding has forced the closing of all five entrances
to Yellowstone National Park. Roads and bridges in the area have been
washed away, and some visitors are stranded in the park following
"unprecedented" rainfall. Flood levels on the Yellowstone River are now
beyond record levels. In some areas, the river is two feet higher than
previous records. Scientists have long warned the climate emergency will
lead to an increase in the number and severity of heat waves, wildfires
and storms.
