I lived thru this flood and as recall the water came up over night. Where we were staying wasn’t expected to flood but by morning there was 8 feet of water on the ground. We came in from Nenana which had flooded. We were air lifted to Anchorage to stay with friends from Soldotna

The number of submerged cars makes me think the water must've come up pretty quickly, so that people didn't have time to move them.
