By AP News Published Aug 7, 2023 05:00 am JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — At least two buildings have been destroyed and residents of others have been evacuated in Juneau after flooding caused by a release of water from a glacier-dammed lake, officials said. The Mendenhall River flooded Saturday because of a major release from Suicide Basin above Alaska's capital city, a news release from the City and Borough of Juneau said Sunday. Video posted on social media showed towering trees behind a home falling into the rushing river as the water ate away at the bank.
