Alaska's Glacier Flood Threat Prompts Juneau to Urge Evacuations
A melting glacier in Juneau, Alaska, is pouring water into a lake and river that runs through the state's capital, threatening the area with historic flooding for the third straight year. The Suicide Basin, adjacent to the Mendenhall Glacier above Juneau, has been gushing water into the Mendenhall Lake and Mendenhall River since Tuesday. The National Weather Service projects the Mendenhall River will crest Wednesday morning, which could lead to catastrophic flooding.
