Authorities assess damage after flooding from glacial dam outburst in Alaska's capital
By AP News Published Aug 7, 2023 11:40 am JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Raging waters that ate away at riverbanks, destroyed at least two buildings and undermined others continued to recede Monday in Alaska's capital city after a glacial dam outburst over the weekend, authorities said. Levels along the Mendenhall River had begun falling by Sunday but the city said the banks of the river remained unstable. Onlookers gathered on a bridge over the river and along the banks of the swollen Mendenhall Lake to take photos and videos Sunday.
