Wednesday, October 15, 2025-A powerful storm triggered catastrophic flooding in Alaska, leaving one person dead and two others missing as search crews battle freezing conditions.
Coast Guard officials described scenes of “absolute devastation,” with entire roads washed away and small communities cut off from aid. Emergency teams are now using helicopters and boats to reach isolated towns where families remain stranded.
The tragedy has shaken residents who say they’ve never seen water levels rise so quickly. Videos shared online show homes collapsing into raging rivers, while volunteers form human chains to pull survivors to safety.
State officials have declared a disaster emergency as they brace for more rain and landslides in the coming days.
The flood underscores how climate extremes are battering even America’s most remote regions. As rebuilding begins, Alaska faces tough questions about infrastructure, preparedness, and the rising cost of environmental change.
