Snowed-in Alaskan town pleads for help
The small Alaska fishing town of Cordova is used to dealing with excessive weather, but residents have been forced to ask for help to dig their way out of massive snow levels that have collapsed roofs, triggered avalanches and even covered doors, trapping some in their homes.
Emergency responders say rain fell overnight, making for a treacherous mess yesterday in the Prince William Sound community of 2,000.
