"Evacuations Ordered as Alaska River near Juneau Faces Unprecedented Flooding"
Record flooding hits Juneau, Alaska after a glacial dam outburst, leading to the destruction of a structure and the evacuation of residents on one street. The National Weather Service received reports of trees collapsing into the Mendenhall River as water levels rose due to eroding banks. The water level of Mendenhall Lake reached a new record of nearly 15 feet, surpassing previous levels set in 2016. Climate change is believed to be a contributing factor to the increase in glacial outburst flooding worldwide.
