Authorities say more than 30 people were rescued and three people remain unaccounted for in western Alaska after the remnants of Typhoon Halong brought hurricane-force winds and flooding strong enough to sweep away entire homes in coastal communities. Alaska State Troopers say at least 18 people were rescued in Kwigillingok, where three people remain missing. In Kipnuk, at least 16 people were rescued and troopers had received secondhand reports of people who were unaccounted for. They were working with local officials to determine how many people were missing. Meanwhile on the East Coast, forecasters warn that major coastal flooding was likely Monday in the mid-Atlantic, particularly from Virginia to New Jersey.
