Emmonak - flooding?

I have been told that teachers were told to get out of Emmonak because record flooding and ice pack damage may well cause lots of problems. School got out last Friday and only a couple of teachers are left in Emo. They were told to clear out of their houses and move to the school because of fear of flooding, ice pack damage. Upriver in Eagle, the water raised 4 feet in the matter of an hour. FYI: My apartment last year was about at bank level, one of the lowest places in town. I was right on the Yukon River. My old apartment was not lifted much. It was about a foot off the ground. The school is 5 feet off the ground and many community buildings are 3 feet off the ground.

In Eagle: The damage is severe. The same could happen to Emmonak. The people in the villages are worried. Gov Palin is more concerned about the CA Miss American pageant gal who spoke against same sex marriage. Palin is much less vocal about the villages and their flooding issues or starvation issues during the winter months.
