The article I read about Eagle, which had stated river ice along the surrounding Front Street and nearby areas that damaged 9 homes, as flood waters extended and covered Old Eagle Village Road...the 2009 disaster was also quoted as a 200 year event for what had happened.
Quite the similar event as the Yukon River at Dawson had gone out the day before, as a downstream from Eagle ice jam developed real late in the season (Mid May).
It sure has been a cold spring along here, as the Tanana River in Nenana usually goes out before the Yukon River at Dawson, but the tripod on the Tanana is still barely holding up and very close to going out at anytime.
Friday and early Saturday weather here was dismal as snow stuck to the ground for about 14 hours, however an interesting article of what the latest western storm had brought to Denali Park :
Very late winter for Denali National Park
