Residents in some parts of Juneau prepared to evacuate ahead of what could be a record surge of flooding as rainwater and snowmelt in a huge basin dammed by Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier started to flow downstream toward the capital city.
Officials in recent days have been warning people in the flood zone to be ready to evacuate. On Tuesday morning they confirmed water had started escaping the ice dam, with flooding expected into late Wednesday. They advised people in the city’s flood zone to leave.
Nothing to fret, folks. Donald Trump is not meeting Vladimir Putin until August 15, 2025. The summit will take place at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska which is approximately 800 miles away.
