On June 14 and 15, flooding was so severe in Yellowstone National Park — which is mostly in northwestern Wyoming but extends into parts of Montana and Idaho — that miles of roads were wiped out. Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte, who declared a statewide disaster, is drawing a great deal of criticism for being out of the country during the flooding.
NBC News, on June 15, reported, "Although he's used social media for updates and communication, Gianforte has not been seen in person. His office has been tight-lipped on his whereabouts."
