Rising waters on the Kenai River are flooding some Kenai Peninsula neighborhoods.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Property owners along low-lying areas of the Kenai River have been asked to secure their personal belongings like boats, propane tanks, and even picnic tables to make sure they don’t float away in the swollen river.
In the Kenai Keys subdivision near Sterling, the river is lapping at the doorsteps of the hundred or so homes that line the river. Longtime resident Frank Turpin said although he’s seen worse flooding, this one is significant. The road leading into the gated subdivision is flooded in numerous places although some vehicles can still make it through. Neighbors who live on higher ground have offered their yards for people wishing to store cars or other items until the waters recede.
