On This Date: Hurricane Connie Set Flooding Groundwork For Diane 5 Days Later
The first of back-to-back hurricanes slammed into the East Coast in 1955 and set the table for disastrous flooding when the second storm's heavy rain soaked a similar area. On Aug. 12, 1955, 70 years ago today, Hurricane Connie made a Category 2 landfall near Morehead City, North Carolina, with strong winds and storm surge flooding. But Connie's northwestward jog inland led to torrential rainfall from North Carolina to western New England. Just five days later, Diane made landfall just 80 miles farther down the North Carolina coast near Carolina Beach. Diane wrung out 10 to 20 inches of rain over some of the same areas just soaked by Connie, with massive inland flooding from North Carolina to Massachusetts. Diane claimed 184 lives in the U.S., primarily due to rainfall flooding, and it's still among the top 25 deadliest U.S. hurricanes and tropical storms. And that wasn't the last of 1955's storms for the East Coast. Just over a month after Diane's landfall, Hurricane Ione made landfall exactly where Connie did, near Morehead City, North Carolina, at virtually the exact same wind intensity (Category 2). Connie, Diane and Ione were among the first names retired from use for future storms, based on their notoriously damaging and/or deadly impacts.

Imminent "glacial outburst" flooding threat prompts disaster declaration in Alaska
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy issued a state disaster declaration Monday as a result of what he called the "imminent threat of catastrophic flooding from a glacier lake outburst flood (GLOF)" in the Juneau area. It would mark the third straight year of serious glacier-related flooding in Juneau, the state capital, in extreme southeastern Alaska. The flooding would be associated with Suicide Basin, a side basin of the Mendenhall Glacier, Dunleavy said. "Hydrologic monitoring by the National Weather Service (NWS) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) confirms that the volume of water currently impounded in Suicide Basin has reached or exceeded levels observed during prior flood-of-record events," he warned in a statement. "A release is expected at any time. Flooding is likely to affect the Mendenhall River and surrounding neighborhoods in the Mendenhall Valley." The National Weather Service Juneau office said, "The Basin is full and continues to over-top. ... As of 10 p.m. Monday, the release has NOT begun, but could happen at any point this week." The declaration follows joint local disaster declarations and requests for assistance from the city and borough of Juneau and two local Indian tribes, Dunleavy noted. A GLOF a year ago caused widespread damage to homes, public infrastructure and utilities and prompted state and federal disaster declarations. Video posted on social media two years ago showed towering trees behind a home falling into the rushing Mendenhall River as the water ate away at the bank. Eventually the home, teetering at the edge, also collapsed into the river. To try to curb the impact of future flooding, Juneau and the Army Corps of Engineers have installed more than two miles of flood control barriers along the river.
