Record Flooding Damages Homes in Juneau, Alaska

Significant flooding caused by the Mendenhall Glacier's ice dam break has devastated Juneau, Alaska, damaging around 290 residences and at least two businesses. The Mendenhall River peaked at a record 15.99 feet, surpassing last year's record and leading to extensive property damage, particularly on Emily Way. Residents are now in the process of salvaging belongings while receiving support from various aid organizations. In Sarasota, Florida, a family of seven was displaced after Tropical Storm Debby flooded their rental home, prompting community support through a GoFundMe campaign. The flooding left them and their neighbors with significant losses, highlighting the inadequacies of their insurance coverage. Local officials in both regions are assessing the damage and working on recovery plans to assist affected families.
