JUNEAU, Alaska -- JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — One person was dead and two were missing in western Alaska on Monday after the remnants of Typhoon Halong over the weekend brought hurricane-force winds and ravaging storm surges and floodwaters that swept some homes away, authorities said. More than 50 people had been rescued — some plucked from rooftops.

Typhoon Halong was an unusual storm, likely fueled by the Pacific’s near-record warm surface temperatures this fall. Its timing means recovery will be even more difficult than usual for these hard-hit communities,

Typhoon Halong skirted Japan this week and will begin a trek across the Pacific Ocean toward the Pacific Northwest.

Emergency rescues are underway in Alaska after Typhoon Halong has caused widespread damage along coastal cities.

After crossing the Pacific Ocean, the storm brought hurricane-force winds that left one person dead and another two missing. Authorities have rescued two dozen people from homes that drifted out to sea as around 1,300 were displaced.

In a rare show of acknowledgment, former President Joe Biden commended President Donald Trump on Monday for helping broker the Gaza ceasefire agreement. Former Vice President Kamala Harris also praised the Trump administration’s role in a similar bipartisan gesture, describing the deal as “an important first step toward a more hopeful future.”
