ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Water overflowing the banks of the Yukon River has flooded the only road between the Yup'ik Eskimo village of Emmonak and its airport, crippling the community, officials said Wednesday.
Flooding also filled a city public works building with several feet of water, said Mayor Andrew Kelly, and briefly affected the water and sewer system. The road damage is the biggest concern, he said.
"The stores are saying they're not going to be able to get the freight in from the airport," Kelly said.
