EXCERPT:
SMITH: "Evacuation efforts still underway after historic flooding ripped apart roads and destroyed bridges in the Yellowstone region. The park stretches across parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Here you can see a home collapsing into a raging river, flood waters eating away at the river bank and sparking catastrophic mudslides. No official word yet on the number of homes ruined. Emergency crews rescuing people with helicopters and boats. Part of the Yellowstone River reached levels yesterday never before seen, two and a half feet higher than the previous record. That’s from the National Weather Service. Forecasters say the combination of heavy rain and melting snow added as much as 9 extra inches of water to rivers and streams that were already flooding in the area.”
