A shocking video shows a house crumbling into an Alaskan river and getting swept away by raging floodwaters

• A house in Alaska crumbled into a raging river after floodwaters eroded the river bank.
• People have uploaded videos of the house's dramatic collapse to TikTok and Instagram.

The flooding of the Mendenhall River in Alaska caused a house to fall apart and crumble into the river's raging waters, according to videos posted on TikTok and Instagram.

In one six-hour timelapse uploaded by TikToker Sam Nolan, a gray house could be seen tipping over into the Mendenhall River as the current gradually eroded the river bank. The video showed parts of the house's roof floating down the river after the home fell apart.

"I did not think there is any way the water would reach the homes. That is crazy powerful," a person commented on TikTok.

"OMG! To just watch this and know there's nothing you can do," said another person on TikTok.

Photos from Reuters also captured the house's dramatic collapse into the Mendenhall River.

Insider could not independently verify when the TikTok and Instagram videos were taken. But floodwaters have been rising, according to a release from the City and Borough of Juneau on Saturday. The city attributed the flooding to "a major release from Suicide Basin," a lake linked to the Mendenhall Glacier.

"At least one structure has been lost to the river and others are at risk and/or have been evacuated," the City and Borough of Juneau said in a separate release on Saturday.

According to the National Weather Service, the Suicide Basin "has released glacier lake outburst floods that cause inundation along Mendenhall Lake and Mendenhall River" since 2011.

The National Weather Service said in an update on Sunday at 5:15 pm that floodwaters have receded.

"Although flooding is no longer expected to pose a threat, hazards persist in and near the Mendenhall River," the National Weather Service said in its update. "Please continue to heed remaining road closures, stay out of the river and away from unstable banks and give plenty of space for resources to respond and provide assistance."
