Remnants of Typhoon Halong slammed into the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta coast in Western Alaska between 3:35 AM and 6:06 AM UTC on October 13th, 2025, causing catastrophic flooding that floated away numerous homes and left at least 20 people unaccounted for. The storm brought hurricane-force winds and widespread destruction to several coastal communities. According to multiple local reports compiled during this period, at least 34 individuals have been rescued from the affected areas. The full extent of the damage and the number of missing persons are still being assessed as the severe weather impacts the region. This event follows reports from earlier this morning, between 1:06 AM and 3:35 AM UTC, where Mexican authorities confirmed 47 deaths and 38 missing individuals due to widespread rain damage across 150 municipalities. While the Mexican situation highlights ongoing severe weather impacts globally, the focus in Western Alaska is on the immediate aftermath of Typhoon Halong's remnants.
