## Caption

A house was swallowed by the Mendenhall River in the Alaskan capital city of Juneau over the weekend due to glacial outburst floods.
 
Record flooding struck Juneau after a glacial dam outburst, prompting city officials to issue evacuation orders for residents on one street.
 
Glacial outburst flooding happens when trapped water escapes through cracks in thinning ice dams.
