A house fell into the Copper River on Monday as high waters caused rapid erosion on the banks, officials said.
Melting snow is triggering erosion and high water in the Copper River Valley this week, sweeping one home into the river and leading to flooding in communities near Glennallen.
Zidek said the home was a second home or vacation residence, but up to six other houses were also threatened by the erosion. Two of the threatened properties belong to full-time residents, he said. By Tuesday, one of the residents was able to return home, but Zidek said the other was still weighing their options.
A 3-foot culvert that drains the lake wasn’t big enough to handle the influx of water from the combination of historic winter snowfall throughout much of the Interior and steadily high temperatures in recent weeks, Rauen said.
