Rain
It’s been wet here - very wet.
The governor declared us disaster area:
FAIRBANKS — Damage assessments of hundreds of homes will move forward after Gov. Sarah Palin declared flooding across much of northern and Interior Alaska a disaster.
She made the declaration Monday in Fairbanks.
The declaration frees the state to use disaster-recovery programs to help repair homes, buildings and roads hit by the flooding.
Officials said flooding stretched across the Tanana River basin to hit cities and villages as far away as the North Slope Borough.
More Fairbanks ‘08 flood photos.
August is usually rainy. But not this rainy.
