Alaskan Storms Displace Residents and Destroy Homes

TL;DR
A powerful storm from Typhoon Halong caused severe flooding and destruction in western Alaska, notably lifting homes from their foundations and displacing thousands, with one man narrowly escaping death after his house floated away and was stopped just feet from the river by a small hill. Rescue efforts were extensive, and the storm resulted in at least one death and multiple homes damaged.
