Thanks to all who have thought of us. The flood is receding and less damage was done this year than last thanks to all-hands-on-deck preparations.
Update, 8:00 a.m.:
The National Weather Service has confirmed that the river crested at 16.65 feet a short while ago and water levels are now dropping.

Thank you for keeping Juneau in your thoughts and prayers as we anticipate a glacier lake outburst flood (jökulhlaup) this week. My home is not in the flood zone, but friends, schools, churches, and beloved businesses are.
