The staff at the Old Faithful Visitor Center no longer has access to the telemetered logger system. Nobody, including the NPS, doesn’t have permission to input electronic data from the telemetered loggers into GeyserTimes, or anywhere outside of the NPS. The telemetered loggers are owned by Yellowstone’s Geology Program and I was strictly told to immediately stop inputting data from their loggers. The Old Faithful staff will continue to input electronic geyser data from our Bluetooth loggers when they arrive in the park and are deployed in the basin. Our old ones crapped out. Cheers. |

(News Release) Yellowstone National Park announced today that the human foot found in Abyss Pool, located in the West Thumb Geyser Basin, belonged to Il Hun Ro, a 70-year-old male from Los Angeles, California. Yellowstone law enforcement officers received the positive identification based on DNA analysis in the last three weeks and notified the family.
In August 2022, staff discovered part of a foot in a shoe floating in the well-known thermal feature and an investigation led by Yellowstone law enforcement officers began. The investigation determined, to the best of our knowledge, that an unwitnessed incident involving one individual happened on the morning of July 31, 2022, at Abyss Pool, and no foul play occurred. Based on a lack of evidence, the circumstances surrounding the death of Ro remain unknown.
This investigation has concluded, and the park has no additional information to share.
Yellowstone would like to thank the NPS Investigative Services Branch, Teton County (Wyoming) Coroner’s Office, Teton County (Wyoming) Search and Rescue, and Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation for their assistance in the investigation.
For more information about this unfortunate incident, read the previous press release: go.nps.gov/220819 |

More information about the continuing earthquake swarm southwest of Grizzly Lake (& south-southwest of Mammoth): Per USGS YVO Monthly Update for August, the swarm began July 29. There were 221 earthquakes in that location during the month of August alone. The swarm continues, as seen on the University of Utah Recent Earthquake Map. The 3.9 yesterday is the largest event so far.
(Many thanks to Bob Partner for sharing this info!) |

M3.9 earthquake ±5km SW of Grizzly Lake. Regarding the 'isolated event' thing: the USGS page didn't show earthquakes nearby for the last 24h (and still doesn't, even with everything shown), therefore this evidently incorrect statement. That said, undoubtetly there are which occurred but are too small to locate. |

The weasel in the pool across from Beehive is now floating. Given the hot water temperature, this probably puts time of death at 24-48 hours ago. Eyewitness reports suggest the weasel may have still been alive as late as Tuesday afternoon, though. As of 1915 the body has gone missing---foul play suspected |

While watching Fountain's 2150 eruption, we saw a bright streak across the sky to the northwest at approximately 2210. As viewed from the boardwalk in front of Fountain, it crossed from left to right from behind Clepsydra to behind Fountain, seeming to break up into multiple pieces as it went along and leaving a significant silver-tinted tail behind it. The sky above it was beginning to darken, and below the streak it was still pale blue and orange from the sunset. Apparently this was space debris that burned up in the earth's atmosphere. |

Here is a summary of the events that transpired today. Heavy rain combining with snow melt resulted in the rivers of Yellowstone overflowing their banks on levels we haven't seen in a very long time. At 12:03 am, the road from Tower to the NE Entrance closed, followed by Mammoth to Tower at 6:03 am, Yankee Jim Canyon at 6:17 am, and culminated with all entrances closing at 10:43 am. As the rivers kept rising and the water getting swifter, the pictures and videos began to show the horrors of the flood. Me personally, I saw Red Lodge first. Rock Creek was up on the highway and began flowing past Main Street and on the other side of Red Lodge. Videos showed rivers of water at least 2-3 feet high if not more going through the town. Roads in and out of Red Lodge were closed and part of the city was evacuated. Next was the tragic scenes from the park. Gardiner is cut off. The section of road between Mammoth and the North Entrance has at least 4 sections washed away. In Yankee Jim Canyon, several sections over .25 miles long were washed out, and several bridges were taken off their foundations, including the Carbella Bridge. According to Park County officials, only Mill and Pine Creek Bridges are the only usable bridges in Paradise Valley. The river set a new record high of ~13 feet, beating the record of 11.5 feet, as well as setting a new speed record of 49,200 cubic feet per second at 5 pm today, beating the 1918 record of 30,000 CFS. Between Lamar Valley and Pebble Creek, a section of road got washed away near Trout Lake TH. Between OF and Madison, the firehole river was raging with very muddy and high water. Pictures from Graham show several sections of water in UGB over the banks and flowing onto land(two main sections being on the bridge between the OF Lodge and Geyser Hill crossing the bridge next to Observation Point, as well as between Lion and the Sawmill group on the trail in the trees. Things only got worse as around 4 pm, the NPS issued a full evacuation of Yellowstone due to the flooding, weather conditions, and concerns with a water treatment plant. Everyone had to leave their hotels and leave the park. Teton County Fairgrounds is being set up as an evac center for all the tourists that were camping that had to leave. All hotels, food courts, stores, and businesses in Yellowstone are shut down. It is possible the roads won't open until Friday or later.
If anyone else has more information regarding today's events, please leave a comment. I did not list all info, just most of it. Truly a tragic day in the greatest national park. |
