Damage as recorded

Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

The wider storm

High river levels due to increasing snowmelt occurred at Fort Yukon from the Porcupine River from May 20th to 25th. Water rose enough to flood a portion of the Sucker River Road. Other low lying areas received flooding, but no structures were impacted, nor were other roads in town. The rapid snowmelt occurred due to above seasonal warming over eastern Alaska. Damage estimate is a guess on the coast of gravel used to repair the Sucker River Road.

Began near Ft Yukon (66.5730, -145.2930).
