Glacial Outburst Flood event

[disco005]

If anyone is interested in glaciers or natural events, this one is going on right now in Juneau, Alaska, it's a Glacial Outburst Flood. When this first happened, it of course was a complete surprise, but this is now a highly-monitored event and fairly interesting to learn about. 
Two glaciers meet in a valley, one is blocking the run-off of the second glacier which causes the water to fill the basin at that intersection. When that water gets enough volume, it literally lifts the first glacier, the blocking glacier, off the rock and the waters flood into the valley below.  
I do have friends that live in the affected area, but they have done what they can for now and are on all the notification and alert lists. My family is not in the affected area.

I was surprised that Juneau has a dedicated YouTube channel for Live updates, but very happy about that, I'm watching closely.
