Capt. Christopher Culpepper, commander of US Coast Guard Sector Western Alaska and US Arctic, described the conditions in Kipnuk and Kwigillingok as as “absolute devastation."
"Several of these villages have been completely devastated," Culpepper said at a news conference on Monday. "Absolutely flooded, several feet deep, and so this took homes off of foundations. This put people in peril, where folks were swimming, floating, trying to find debris to hold on to in the cover of darkness, at nighttime."
