3/20/19: The Tongue and Yellowstone Rivers at Miles City, MT enter flood stage as an ice jam forms. Then, we capture the dramatic release and ice flow.
03:10 Kinda feelin' like I"m on a concrete Ice-Breaker! Weird how with no reference to the horizon - it gives a very realistic feeling that you're the one in motion!
Awesome, awesome film, credits galore to the person who filmed this. So appreciate this one of many great viewsof our great state. Much too large to see it all.
Look like Elk 🦌 or Moose 🦌 to me. Look too deep round and far apart to be anything else. Certainly not human. Would be figure-of-eight shaped otherwise. Possibly Lynx 🐆.
Should have gone downstream to the Sidney/Fairview area a few days later ... Thousands of acres flooded, dozens lost their homes The ice was up to within a few feet of the structure of the Fairview Lift Bridge (about 30 feet higher than the average water level)
We actually were able to get down there, but it was just after the rest of the Yellowstone in Montana had gone out. We saw some of the huge ice chunks piled up on the sides of the river in that neck of the woods, must have been an incredible sight to see it moving! The ice moving in this video had actually stopped only several miles down from the bridge we were filming on (Right around the Powder River inlet and some friends farm land even a quarter mile from the river got flooded. Always so terrible to see.
