Juneau, Alaska, residents in flood-prone areas are urged to evacuate due to an impending record-breaking flood. A glacial outburst from the Mendenhall Glacier is releasing a massive amount of water from Suicide Basin, expected to peak Wednesday afternoon. This year's flood is predicted to surpass previous record levels, potentially causing significant damage to homes near the Mendenhall River. Temporary barriers have been installed to mitigate the impact, but a long-term solution is still under study.
