Waters Continue to Rise in Galena Flooding

State emergency officials say more than 300 people have been evacuated out of Galena, or left on their own after Yukon River flooding hit the community hard.

Wednesday afternoon, river forecasters with the National Weather Service said chunks of ice along a small portion of the ice jam — which spans about 30 miles — broke free and released some floodwaters.
