@LordofHardwired @writerLyn Thank you for sharing this! Any additional observations or details are always appreciated. Don’t hesitate to reach out with further questions.

@LordofHardwired @writerLyn (2/2) We encourage feedback and are eager to learn if there were any impacts in Sitka that we missed. To report landslides, please email [email protected]

@LordofHardwired @writerLyn @LordofHardwired, (1/2) We’re glad you have been watching the dashboard! The Sept. 26 storm did not exceed thresholds in our warning system, which is based on 3hr bursts of rainfall. We are aware of the landslide in Juneau, however, our system is designed specifically for Sitka.

Happy Fall Ya'll 🍂

The views around the Center and in our hometown of Seward, Alaska are undeniable - autumn has arrived!
