Yellowstone National Park has shared new photos and videos of the damage caused by recent massive flooding in the area.

Driving the news: Dangerous flooding — driven by rainfall and snowmelt — left bridges and roads washed out at Yellowstone. The park is still closed, but a "limited reopening" is "highly possible" for next week, the National Park Service said Friday.

Flooding at Yellowstone earlier this week forced 10,000 people to leave the national park, the Associated Press reports. No one was injured or killed.

The NPS said it is working with the U.S. Interior Department and Yellowstone for emergency response and recovery efforts.

The Montana National Guard said soldiers have been mobilized to assist with the safety of travelers along the damaged roads.
