Russian mission flooding - ice problems

Russian Mission has ice blocks destroying parts of the town tonight. The runway is flooded so no traffic. I heard on the local news that about 10 houses are flooded. A fuel tank for Russian Village is floating on the water. They closed it off so no fuel is leaking and tied it down. People in low areas have been moved to high areas until the mess is over. The town is running out of fuel oil and limited purchases to 5 gallons. Russion Village is upriver from my old village of Emmonak. In Emo, they have flown women near the end of pregnancy out of town because the Village could be isolated soon. I think planes are still flying in and out but that could change quickly. The airport and road to the airport are right next to the Yukon River.

Last year, Emmonak had a pretty good HS basketball team but got whipped bad by Russian Missioe. Emmonak was hoping to go to state - Russian Mission did.
