More than 30 people were rescued and three remain unaccounted for in western Alaska after the remnants of Typhoon Halong lashed coastal villages with hurricane‑force winds and flooding strong enough to carry homes away. Rescue aircraft reached Kipnuk and Kwigillingok, where at least 16 and 18 people were saved; nearly 600 and 300 residents sheltered at local schools. Searches were set to continue as conditions allowed, and the governor pledged aid. On the East Coast, a nor’easter threatened major coastal flooding and gusts over 55 mph, prompting emergencies, evacuations, and road closures from New Jersey to North Carolina.
