Officials say landslide danger remains after storm

摘要

Officials in southeast Alaska have repeated warnings about possible landslide danger in the community of Haines, where two people remain missing after a large slide last week. Torrential rain across much of the region caused havoc in many communities, including Ketchikan, where emergency officials announced there was no longer a danger of dam failure. Searchers were still trying to find two people reported missing after a massive landslide crashed into Haines on Wednesday. The community of about 2,500 people experienced several landslides, which followed a deluge of about 10 inches of rain over two days. The largest slide was estimated at about 600 feet wide and took out four homes while pushing debris to the water line. Authorities initially said six people were missing but revised the count Thursday when four people were found safe. David Simmons and Jenae Larson were those identified as still missing.
