Hundreds of residents from remote Alaska Native villages are being airlifted after a storm battered their low-lying communities over the weekend, wiping away homes and killing at least one person. Two others are missing.
In one of the most significant airlifts in Alaska history , hundreds were being flown about 500 miles (800 kilometers) to Anchorage, after a shelter in the regional hub city of Bethel was filled with dozens of evacuees.
