ALASKA EMERGENCY — Massive Flooding After Typhoon Halong

Western Alaska is facing catastrophic flooding after the remnants of Typhoon Halong slammed into the coast, destroying homes and displacing families.

⚠️ Floodwaters have risen up to 6 feet above normal high tide, fueled by hurricane-force winds reaching 100 mph (160 km/h). Entire villages remain isolated as rescue teams race to reach those trapped by the storm surge.

🚨 Dozens have been rescued — 18 people in Kwigillingok and 16 in Kipnuk — but at least three remain missing as the search continues.
A Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect through Monday across much of western Alaska.

Communities are struggling with power outages, damaged infrastructure, and limited communication as emergency crews work tirelessly to bring relief.
