An Alaska resident faced a terrifying ordeal when a typhoon tore through his home, carrying him and his two dogs nearly a mile before he was finally rescued.

Steven Anaver found himself in the grip of the fierce storm that slammed into western Alaska on October 12.

At approximately 3 a.m., his house in Kwigillingok became inundated with water, leaving him perilously close to tragedy.

Miraculously, Anaver survived as his home drifted for almost a mile, halting just short of a river, allowing him to make his escape.

Unfortunately, his two dogs, including a pregnant one, were not as lucky and remain missing.

‘I felt the wind from my bedroom,’ he said. ‘My family told me to stay put in my bedroom until help arrived. My feet got so cold.’

Dramatic footage captured from inside showed the raging floodwater rising to around his knees.

Anaver’s furniture and possessions could be seen bobbing around in the rapidly flowing waters. 

The walls of his residence rocked back and forth as a terrified Anaver tried desperately to get to safety.

The homeowner later revealed that he had wanted to stay in his hometown despite the treacherous conditions.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong brought a record storm surge to western Alaska last week, battering the Yup’ik communities of Kipnuk and Kwigillingok.

The flooding caused at least one death, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Alaska.

More than 1,500 people’s residences were destroyed, leaving them with ‘no place to stay, food to eat, or clean water to drink.’

There were two people missing in Kwigillingok as of Monday morning, the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management said.

Anaver said ‘everything got destroyed from the flood’, including his four-wheeler and snowmobile.

Aper Anaver, a relative who lived with Steven, revealed that all the family was able to salvage from their home was three family photographs.

James Anaver, Steven’s brother, set up a GoFundMe to help him recover from the traumatic experience.

He said: ‘[Steven] is now here with my parents in Bethel, but everything that was in the house we grew up in is totally gone.

‘Pictures, clothes, belongings, his game systems, everything in the house that made it a home.

‘A house that we came home to during the major holidays: Christmas, New Year’s, Thanksgiving, etc. A house we all shared when we were home.’

Anaver returned to Kwigillingok after his home was swept away but found the destruction ‘devastating’.

When asked about repairing his residence, he told Alaska’s News Source: ‘I don’t think so.’

On October 16, Alaska governor Mike Dunleavy asked US president Donald Trump to declare a major disaster for the state.

He said more than 1,500 Alaskans would probably be unable to return to their homes for at least 18 months.

JD Vance said he and Trump were ‘closely tracking the storm devastation that resulted in over 1,000 citizens being airlifted out of Alaska villages.’

The US vice president added the federal government was ‘working closely’ with Alaska Republican senator Dan Sullivan and Dunleavy ‘to get you the help you need’.
