Evacuations have been ordered and structures have been washed away after a major release at the Suicide Basin in Juneau, Alaska, sent water rushing into Mendenhall Lake and River leading to significant and historic flooding on Saturday.

@BakerRL75 Somewhere I have photos of my parents up on the Mendenhall glacier in the early 50s; need to find them, although I know the comparison with today will be sickening.
@Nazani My Dad worked on ice islands in the Arctic that 35 to 60 feet in depth in the 60’s. They’re long gone now.
