From PBS NewsHour.

Rescue crews are airlifting hundreds of evacuees in rural Alaska after the remnants of a typhoon brought hurricane-force winds and record-breaking storm surge to the state’s remote western coast. Geoff Bennett discussed the storm with Sage Smiley, the News Director at KYUK in Bethel, Alaska, a town that has become a hub for the recovery effort in recent days.
