KTOO - City recommends evacuations as Juneau sees record flooding from glacial outburst flood

#Juneau’s record glacial outburst flood prompts evacuations and destroys at least 1 home

August 5, 2023 by Anna Canny, KTOO

"The source of this weekend’s #flooding is a #glacial dam outburst flood from #SuicideBasin, above the #MendenhallGlacier. An update from the National Weather Service described record flooding of waterways and low-lying areas, along with flooding 'in areas that have not previously seen flooding before.'"
