Flood waters are expected to crest at near-record levels around 4 a.m. Tuesday, but some areas are already beginning to see flooding.
Water rushes past homes and reinforced riverbanks along the Mendenhall River during Juneau ’s annual glacial outburst flood on Monday, August 5, 2024.
“It’s probably just going to be for a single night, because we expect based on forecasting that very quickly after the peak the river will start to fall,” he said. “We should see water off of the streets by 7 a.m. tomorrow.” “It’s hard to make those calls, and make those decisions about where to recommend evacuations,” Barr said. “We really do also rely on the people in those neighborhoods to be paying attention and making their own decisions.”
Juneau Animal Rescue is offering emergency boarding for pets in need, as space allows. Those looking to drop off their pets can contact Animal Control and Protection at 907-789-6997 to learn more.
