GLENNALLEN, Alaska - As flooding on the Copper River continues to wreak havoc on those in Glennallen, a home was swept away by the currents on Monday morning.
Chappell said he was able to move some structures, including his own home, back a few feet, but the river has been eroding the banks by several feet a day at a rate that could mean his house might be taken by the floods in the next several days. Ron Nordquist, who has owned a cabin there since 1992, had to move everything out over the weekend as he prepares for the worst.
Chappell says the community is running without electricity, sewage services, water or sleep, as over the last week, many have been working around the clock to try and keep people safe and at the same time save their homes.
