Western Alaska is grappling with the aftermath of a catastrophic storm, as remnants of Typhoon Halong have caused severe flooding and destruction. Hundreds of residents are displaced, with over 1,500 people seeking shelter in schools under dire conditions. The storm has resulted in at least one confirmed death, with two others still missing. Rescue efforts are underway, with dozens being saved from inundated homes, while communities face an arduous recovery process. The weather crisis has stripped homes away and left many villages, including Nightmute, completely devastated. Authorities have reported significant gaps in weather data due to previous budget cuts, which impacted forecasts for this deadly storm. As the situation unfolds, various organizations, including the Red Cross and the Alaska National Guard, are mobilizing to provide much-needed aid to the affected communities.
