How devastating for these folks...prayers

[@olduhfguy]

Alaska is still a wild undeveloped place and its rivers can be violent.

[@paleomagicksr.9880]

... which is a great reason to NOT build an expensive house near any riverbank

[@TreFree-n7o]

Climate change melted the glacier.....

[@TreFree-n7o]

​@@paleomagicksr.9880 these houses were actually really far from the river. The glacier melting eroded 2 football fields of coastline in 1 day.

[@paleomagicksr.9880]

@@TreFree-n7o I meant in terms of vertical feet, not horizontal.

[@bmolitor615]

All rivers can be violent. Even the ones you imagine are "under control"...

[@lovinglife6080]

Oh my gosh how devastating this is my heart goes out to all of them

[@warningsigns4526]

Just like California, no home insurance, BUT you do not have to pay your taxes - a slap in the face

[@goodstufffromdavidpaul2246]

You want to build on the edge of a river, a clear-cut slope, or a mountain of chaparral... you will have a nice view but mother nature does not sell insurance.

[@marcyanderson4268]

Why are they building so close to the river???

[@StormTrackerRed]

im in anchorage im glad i didnt get that but still hope everyone is ok down there

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

anyone who builds near water and less than 100 feet above the flood line is a FOOL

[@minwoo2]

I love it❤

[@juliecramer7768]

You love to see suffering?

[@kellwng]

This is why you dont build like that over water

[@jeremylavender9010]

They had close 50-100 yards of land between them and the river. It all eroded in 6 hours, 15' flood level from glacial dam burst. So...no one built "over" the water. They were outside the FEMA flood map as well.

[@kellwng]

@@jeremylavender9010 So you are referring to the ones that were on stills over the edge jut like the people in California dose on the hill sides?

[@jeremylavender9010]

all of that area. They are not stilts, they are foundation pylons that were dug into the ground. Take a look at a google earth image of the area before, there is also a timelapse video showing the entire event. I am a local, so I know the area and the people who lost their home. @@kellwng
