First responders in Alaska have carried out dozens of rescues after Typhoon Halong battered the region, leaving two villages devastated and officials scrambling to find shelter for more than 1,500 people. The weekend storm brought high winds and storm surges that swept away homes in low-lying Alaska Native communities along the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in the southwest part of the state. At least one person was killed and two others remain missing. The Coast Guard rescued two dozen people after their homes floated out to sea.
