The massive storm flooded communities and destroyed homes Sunday when it slammed into the coast of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, bringing with it destructive winds and high waters.

(From KYUK - Bethel and @alaskapublic.org)

51 people rescued and at least 3 still missing after massive storm hits Western Alaska

The three people unaccounted for are from Kwigillingok, one of the communities devastated by the remnants of Typhoon Halong.

No plans to visit Pandora, at least not to ride rides. Dad isnt interested, mom likes real animals, and I am anti James Cameron everything. 🤣

3 weeks from today we will have spent the day in Disney's Animal Kingdom park. We will have breakfast in Africa with Donald Duck and his friends, we will have summited Everest and faced a Yeti, saved a dino from extinction, and watched all the aminals.

Hopefully at this point we are taking a safari

Thanks! I missed that post! Hard to keep up.

Alaska Community Foundation has set up a link to donate funds for those affected by the storms and flooding in Western Alaska.

AKCF is an amazing organization and 100% legit.

I think the vertigo was from a "painless" migraine. I definitely am dealing with post migraine fog today. But, for now, the dizziness and nausea are over...

I dont even try to do the exercises to "relieve" as i always end up throwing up.

Trying the anti nausea meds to make it bearable today.

Starting to think NFL Mac Jones is back. 🥴

It was really scary when it hit in the middle of the night in the dark. I thought it was something else at first (like a stroke). Dealing more with the nausea today, took some anti nausea meds but still feel awful.
