bluewave Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 ALASKA WEST COAST TO BE HIT BY ONE OF THE MOST SEVERE BERING SEA STORMS ON RECORD… A POWERFUL AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STORM OF NEAR RECORD OR RECORD MAGNITUDE IS BEARING DOWN ON THE WEST COAST OF ALASKA. . . . . . . THIS INCLUDES THE VILLAGES OF NOME AND KIVALINA WHERE MAJOR DAMAGE FROM COASTAL FLOODING AND STRONG WINDS IS EXPECTED . . . AGAIN…THIS WILL BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING STORM OF AN EPIC MAGNITUDE RARELY EXPERIENCED. ALL PEOPLE IN THE AREA SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO SAFEGUARD THEIR LIVES AND PROPERTY.

tmagan Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I forgot what snowstorm it was, but in recent years NWSFO Boston issued a hurricane wind warning for a snowstorm with regard to the coastal waters around Cape Cod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to watch this surge, saw pics of 04 there with a lessor storm, very impressive damage. http://tidesonline.nos.noaa.gov/plotcomp.shtml?station_info=9468756+Nome%2C+Norton+Sound%2C+AK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toad strangler Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Anyone know if its crab season yet in Alaska? This storm should make for some awesome Deadliest Catch footage. Absolutely, fresh king crab is available. Deadliest Catch will be fun to watch in January with this storm. You know, given all of the other storms that were described as awful (as I am sure they were) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derecho! Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Absolutely, fresh king crab is available. Deadliest Catch will be fun to watch in January with this storm. You know, given all of the other storms that were described as awful (as I am sure they were) The USCG had to medevac a guy off the Wizard Monday - dehydration and shock. Unclear if it's a crew member or cameraman. Presumably a Greenhorn or new cameraman with severe seasickness who couldn't hydrate enough. I imagine things were already pretty bad Monday.
