The Mendenhall River crested at 15.99 feet early Tuesday and has begun to recede, after widespread flooding and power cuts.
A sunrise view of flooding on Juneau’s Long Run Drive in the Mendenhall Valley on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.
Expected flood impacts above 15 feet include “up to 2 feet of water covering Killewich Drive and water entering the backyards of houses along the south side of Marion Drive. Rivercourt Way, Lakeview Court, Center Court, Parkview Court, Turn Street and Northland Street could have up to 1.5 feet of water over the road. Up to 1 foot of water covering Riverside Drive at Tournure Street.” Homes were expected to begin experiencing flooding at 14.5 feet on Meander Way and View Drive.
Water levels rise in the Mendenhall River beneath Mendenhall Loop Bridge during Juneau’s annual glacial outburst flood on Monday, August 5, 2024. Alaska Electric Light and Power cut off power to the campground as a precaution, later cutting power to View Drive and several other streets affected by flooding. Any neighborhoods that lost power during last year’s flood should be prepared to lose it again.
Homeowners should close fuel tank connections, elevate piping and anchor tanks to prevent them being carried away.
