Episode Details

Talkeetna, Alaska, is bracing after a record-breaking July rainstorm dumped over five inches — nearly double its monthly average — triggering a local emergency as floodwaters rose. Though officials remain vigilant, checking dikes and revetments for damage, water levels are expected to drop below critical thresholds by Friday. Business owners, including Basilone Mountain High Pizza Pie’s owner, say the relentless wet and cold has finally lifted, with clear skies ahead. Residents are urged to stay five to ten feet from water’s edge as a safety precaution — but for now, life in downtown Talkeetna is back to normal.
