Two colossal floods—the Bonneville and Missoula—collided in prehistoric Idaho, reshaping the Pacific Northwest. Lake Bonneville, once 1,000 feet deep, burst through a natural dam and carved out the Snake River and Hells Canyon, the continent’s deepest gorge. Meanwhile, the Missoula flood surged from the north, creating a geological showdown of epic proportions. Full Episode: https://youtu.be/EsYcnXXWu08?si=PRA8hGiwzdXZYbQH | Matt Beall Limitless

Mega-floods aren’t mythology, they’re measured. The Bonneville Flood hit ~40 million cubic feet per second. The Missoula floods? Up to 400–800 million cubic feet per second. Water volumes so massive they carved canyons, moved boulders like pebbles, and reshaped whole regions in days. These weren’t rivers. They were planet-altering forces. | The Randall Carlson
