Yellowstone floods

PoPuLAR American tourist attraction, the Yellowstone National Park, is currently experiencing massive flooding in many parts of the reserve.

Visitors have been forced to evacuate from several parts of the park as floodwaters wash out multiple roads and bridges, fuelled by sustained heavy rain and melting snow.

At this stage there are no reports of injuries, although many stranded campers had to be rescued in recent days as they were cut off from exit routes.
