Juneau, Alaska, has experienced its second consecutive year of unprecedented glacial outburst flooding, causing extensive damage to over 100 homes. The floodwaters, originating from a lake dammed by the Mendenhall Glacier, reached a record high of 15.99 feet, surpassing last year's levels. Residents were evacuated in the early hours of Tuesday, with many reporting rapid and severe inundation. The flooding has been attributed to climate change, which is accelerating glacier melt. Local and state officials have issued disaster declarations to aid in the response and recovery efforts. No injuries were reported, but the community faces significant recovery challenges.
