Entertainment True Crime Alaska disaster 2025 Kipnuk Alaska homes floating families inside Indigenous disaster media blackout CNN not covering Typhoon Halong Alaska Alaska Native crisis Yupik people

🚨 ALASKA EMERGENCY: 1,500+ Indigenous People Displaced - Media Silent 🚨
October 11-12, 2025: Typhoon Halong's remnants destroyed Alaska's Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Homes floated down rivers with families trapped inside. One confirmed dead. Two missing. EVERY home in Kipnuk destroyed.
We didn't learn this from CNN. We learned from social media—from our own Capri's family who lives there.

📊 DEVASTATING NUMBERS:
1,500+ displaced across 49 Indigenous communities
Water reached 14.5 feet in Kipnuk (6.6 ft above normal - record shattered)
107+ MPH winds (Category 2-3 hurricane)
100% of Kipnuk homes damaged/destroyed
51 rescued by Coast Guard/National Guard
500-mile evacuation to Anchorage
People forced to leave pets behind
Winter approaching - no shelter

🏘️ HARDEST HIT: Kipnuk, Kwigillingok, Napakiak, Tuntutuliak, Bethel, Kongiganek, Chefornak, Hooper Bay, Tununak + dozens more Yup'ik & Athabaskan villages

💔 REAL STORIES:
Brea Paul: "Houses would blink their phone lights like asking for help but we couldn't do anything."
Ryan David's house floated with his 4 kids inside.
600 people sheltered in school - failing toilets, no power.

❓ WHY THE SILENCE? Because they're Indigenous. If this was Florida, it'd be 24/7 coverage. Alaska Natives? Crickets.
