Alaska Highway Disaster
FullscreenSevere washouts have destroyed sections of the Alaska Highway between Teslin and Watson Lake, Yukon, forcing the closure of that section of the road. Crews are repairing the road so stranded transport trucks and other vehicles can begin moving again.

I was one of the many who were caught in Watson Lake by the storm rampage. My personal story is that the people cared about me and did what they could to help ease my situation. Finding a modern-day town with an old-fashioned heart is a delight. I am blessed to have had the experience of Watson Lake.
I was born and raised in Whitehorse, I have never seen this before in my whole 23 years of living. It just goes to show that mother nature is showing us what will happen if we don’t start cleaning up the earth. The floods in whitehorse and the rain all over the world should be a hint to people that something is going to happen if we don’t stop what we are doing now.
I so agree with you north-of-60. . .this was just a ‘bump’ in the road & a bit of an inconvenience. . .kudos to the crews. . .kudos to the truckers!!
That is the extent of our Disaster’s. Because we have no Pipeline’s & Oceans. But we do have River that can do this To us. I think it was just the way they out it.
we should be so thankful that no one was hurt when the road washed out
Disaster? not really. Hurricanes, tsunamis and tornadoes cause disasters.
This is just a small inconvenience to remind us of that long tenuous supply line to the south.
It’s all part of the adventure of living up here.
Shades of yesteryear !
I lived on the Highway off and on from 1946 to the late 60s….This is very familiar and nostalgic ( strange I know ) for me
.High fives and much appreciation to the Highway Crews !!
