Typhoon Halong was an unusual storm, likely fueled by the Pacific’s near-record warm surface temperatures this fall. Its timing means recovery will be even more difficult than usual for these hard-hit communities,

The disaster laid bare the Alaska Native village’s vulnerability to flooding and the consequences of the Trump administration’s cuts to environmental programs.

At least 300 people have been airlifted from parts of Alaska after the remnants of Typhoon Halgong sent storm surge of over 6 feet into the state's coast.

Alaska State Troopers said that one person, 67-year-old Ella Mae Kashatok, was killed in Kwigillingok. Two people in the village remain unaccounted for, the agency said in a Facebook update on Tuesday, announcing that search-and-rescue efforts were ending.

The Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in Alaska was among the hardest hit, with severe flooding reported in Kipnuk, Kwigillingok, and Napakiak.

Before and after satellite imagery is revealing the scope of the damage left behind after this week's catastrophic flooding and wind damage from a powerful coastal storm fueled by the remnants of Typhoon Halong.

The U.S. Coast Guard was spotted on video helping to rescue residents of Kipnuk, Alaska, after the remnants of Typhoon Halong caused severe flooding on Oct. 12.
