Juneau, Alaska, faces catastrophic flooding as Suicide Basin within the Mendenhall Glacier releases a massive amount of water. The Mendenhall River has surpassed its record flood stage, prompting mandatory evacuations for residents in flood zones. Peak flooding is expected Wednesday morning. This event, linked to climate change and the glacier's retreat, follows previous damaging floods in 2023 and 2024. Officials urge immediate evacuation to safety.
