Repairs underway after strong storm hits Alaska

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy says a storm on the state's vast western coast has caused significant damage to roads and homes in some communities. Alaska National Guard troops used a helicopter to fly to the remote village of Newtok to assist in repairing storm damage.

There were no deaths or injuries reported after the storm, which was the remnant of Typhoon Merbok. The most significant damage included ripped up streets and roadways. The state is also attempting to get supplies like plywood, insulation and tin to repair roofs before winter sets in.
