Lake Missoula Flood

Michael Oard is a research meteorologist and an atmospheric scientist. He has written and spoken extensively about the Lake Missoula Flood, which had twice the amount of water of Lake Erie and took place in the late Ice Age, perhaps 3600 years ago. Since research first began on the Lake Missoula megaflood, other megafloods have been discovered around the world.

The Lake Missoula flood took place at the peak of the post-Flood Ice Age in the northwest United States. A lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in British Columbia had filled a valley in northern Idaho to a depth of about 800 m, which created a lake about two times the volume of Lake Eire. The lake was 300 m deep over the present city of Missoula, Montana.

Multiple shorelines from glacial Lake Missoula can be seen at enumerable locations in the valleys of western Montana (figure 1). The ice dam suddenly broke and the lake emptied within two days, sending a massive flood through eastern Washington and northern Oregon, creating walls of water 100-300 m deep. Hundreds of pieces of evidence support this flood, but it was rejected for 40 years by all but J. Harlen Bretz because such a flood was deemed too ‘biblical’.The Missoula Flood Controversy and the Genesis Flood, Creation Research Society books, Chino Valley, AZ, 2004.' data-offset="-10" data-variation="small wide">1

In the 1960s with the advent of aerial photography and further field work by Bretz and others, geologists finally accepted the Lake Missoula flood
