The all clear has been given and residents have been allowed to return to their homes in Alaska’s capital of Juneau after a glacial lake outburst sent debris-filled water rushing down the Mendenhall River on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

The National Weather Service issued a special weather statement indicating that it could take up to six days for the basin to release floodwaters into Mendenhall Lake.

The declaration from Dunleavy came after the City and Borough of Juneau and the Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska declared their own, preemptive disaster declaration ahead of the glacial outburst flood on Friday, as first reported by KTOO.

Current reports from the National Weather Service estimate the basin will be full Monday, but a release can happen at any time.

For the third consecutive year, a wave of water gushed out of an Alaskan glacial lake, threatening the state’s capital city of Juneau. But, flood barriers installed by the city managed to prevent disaster from unfolding in the picturesque port town despite record-breaking water levels this week.

Suicide Basin, an ice-dammed lake on an arm of Mendenhall Glacier, has filled up with meltwater and sent destructive surges of water into Juneau for 3 straight summers.

City officials say the flood threat has ended and credit barriers with preventing more damage from the Mendenhall Glacier outburst
