House falls into river near Yellowstone National Park

A torrent of rain combined with a rapidly melting snowpack caused a deluge of flooding that forced the evacuation of some parts of Yellowstone National Park in the US. Electricity was cut and Yellowstone officials were forced to close all entrances indefinitely, just as the summer tourist season was ramping up. Some of the worst damage happened in the northern part of the park and Yellowstone’s gateway communities in southern Montana. The flooding cut off road access to Gardiner, Montanaand Gardner rivers.It’s unclear how many visitors are stranded or have been forced to leave the park and how many residents outside the park have been rescued and evacuated.
