A two-story house in Alaska collapsed into Mendenhall River after record glacial flooding in the city. The video shows the house being swept away by the raging river.
The flooding river destroyed at least two buildings damaged others, and ate away at riverbanks over the weekend by started receding on Monday. There were no reports of any injuries or deaths.
The video was shared on Instagram by Elopement Photographers.
The caption of the video reads, "This was wild to see yesterday in Alaska. There was no rain to speak of so you may be wondering how this happened. Suicide glacier melts all summer filling the suicide basin directly above the Mendenhall glacier, at some point the natural ice dam gives out real easing of the water that's accumulated all summer long in the basin all at once."
