NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Forever Canadian supporters are the best! They don't just sign; they proactively confirm their support and thank us again. That's next-level commitment you rarely see! This powerful shared purpose truly fuels the movement. Please sign if you haven't yet and THANK YOU! #ForeverCanadian #ABpoli #ABleg

Panel 1: Two volunteers sit at a table while one person signs. A couple approaches on a path. Panel 2: The approaching couple stops, and one person waves, saying, "We have already signed." Panel 3: A volunteer says, "Thank you for signing," and the couple replies, "Thank you for doing this." The comic highlights the dedicated support for the Forever Canadian cause.
