One person was dead and two missing in western Alaska after the remnants of Typhoon Halong brought hurricane-force winds and ravaging storm surges and floodwaters to the region.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong have brought hurricane-force winds and ravaging storm surges to western Alaska. Authorities say one person is dead and two remain missing.

Search and rescue crews responded Sunday afternoon to Kipnuk and Kwigillingok to search for missing people and rescue those displaced by the powerful storm system that impacted multiple coastal communities in Western Alaska.

The three people had been reported missing from Kwigillingok, a low-lying village along the Bering Sea that was hit by remnants of Typhoon Halong.
