[quote:Anonymous Coward 4799312:MV8xNjk2OTk2XzI4MDQ4ODgyX0JBQjk1MDk4] I'm in the Anchorage area now, but I have friends in that area so I'm going to keep track of this. I lived there a long time, I'm a bit concerned because it's not unusual to have severe storms out there and I've never seen national news reports on these kinds of storms. This is highly unusual.

Sustained winds of 80 mph (with gusts to 90 mph in some locations) may impact an area the size of Colorado with
offshore waves to more than 40
feet according to the NWS Facebook page. A storm surge of 8 to 10 feet is predicted along the coast. The combination of wind, waves, and high sea levels will create many hazards as described by the NWS in a Special Weather Statement:
THE HIGH SEA LEVELS COMBINED WITH HIGH WAVES WILL PRODUCE SEVERE BEACH EROSION AND MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN SHORES OF NORTON SOUND AND ALONG THE BERING STRAIT COAST. HIGH WATER LEVELS WILL PRODUCE COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE SOUTHERN SHORE OF NORTON SOUND. STRONG WINDS AND WAVE ACTION MAY PUSH ICE IN NORTON BAY ON SHORE.
