US Navy abandoned this remote Alaska base in 1997... What happened to Adak's houses?

Adak is a remote Alaska island in the north Pacific Ocean. It was the site of a US Navy base with more than 6000 military and their families by the 1980s. But everyone left when the base closed in March 1997, and most houses and buildings became abandoned. Now, Adak Island has only 33 permanent residents. Let's take a rainy look at one of Adak's long-decaying subdivisions.
