(CNN) — Yellowstone National Park announced Monday all entrances are temporarily closed due to "extremely hazardous conditions" caused by "unprecedented" rainfall and flooding.
"Effective immediately, all entrances to Yellowstone National Park are temporarily CLOSED due to substantial flooding, rockslides and mudslides on roadways from recent unprecedented amounts of rainfall and flooding," the park said in a Facebook post.
No inbound traffic is allowed "until the conditions stabilize and the park can assess damage to roads and bridges," the post added. The North, Northeast, West, South and East entrances are all closed.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
