Yellowstone National Park could partially reopen as early as Monday as officials continue to assess the damage caused by historic flooding, which now threatens to hamper the peak of the summer tourist season.
Heavy rains and rapid snowmelt caused rivers to swallow bridges, sweep away entire sections of roadway and forced the evacuation of more than 10,000 visitors. The sudden closure has fueled concerns from business owners and employees in surrounding communities who rely on Yellowstone visitors as a key source of revenue.
In Montana's Park County, which includes Gardiner, at least two homes collapsed into the swelling river and multiple homes and businesses were flooded, Greg Coleman, the county's disaster emergency services manager, told CNN. Gardiner was completely isolated by water Monday and into Tuesday as flooding rendered roads and bridges impassable.Aerial video of the damage captured by CNN shows one Montana home hanging precariously over the edge of a severely eroded embankment.
