"The remains of Typhoon Halong brought destructive winds and devastating floods to communities on the coast of western Alaska over the weekend.
The Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management reported winds as

high as 100 mph, as well as storm surges and flooding across several villages like Kipnuk, Kwigillingok, Bethel, Kotzebue, and Nome.
Governor Mike Dunleavy declared that “Help is on the way,” while expanding a disaster declaration first issued on Thursday.
Gov. Dunleavy said rescue aircraft from the Alaska National Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard were heading to the hard-hit areas of Kipnuk and Kwigillingok, adding “Every effort will be made to help those hit by this storm.”
There were multiple reports of people in distress and potentially trapped in their homes, while other houses knocked off their foundations." msn
