Kodiak suffers after 2nd-rainiest day ever

Link: Kodiak Daily Mirror The second-rainiest day in Kodiak history on Friday set off mudslides that damaged city roads but spared houses. "We fortunately have not had any reports of injuries," said Alaska State Trooper Dennis Dupras, "although there have been plenty of near misses." Slides triggered by the 6.4-inch rainfall blocked the first hole of the golf course, and a marathon run was postponed and will have to be re-routed to avoid slide-damaged roads.
