Keep Smiling User ID: 72261 New Zealand 11/08/2011 02:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This seems pretty scary. I imagine Alaska must get some fairly mean storms every year. For this to be hurricane like and 'worst storm in history' - well, all I can say is hang in there Alaska and I hope its not as bad as they say. A pretty frightening weather warning. |

Beyond 72 a new gale is to be falling from the the extreme Eastern Bering Sea into the Gulf of Alaska Tuesday AM (11/8) with 35 kt northwest winds forecast generating a 22 ft seas up at 48N 158W and falling southeast. In the evening 35 kt northwest winds to continue falling southeast into a new developing low pressure center wrapping up just off the Washington Coast. Seas 22 ft at 45N 151W from previous fetch. Wed AM (11/9) a full broad gale is to be circulating with 30-35 kts winds 600 nmiles off the coast of Oregon and Cape Mendocino. Seas 20 ft and building at 38N 143W. 40 kt north winds to hold in the gales north quadrant (off Oregon) Wed PM with 22 ft seas building there (44N 140W). The gale and fetch is to fall south on Thursday AM with most fetch 800 nmiles off Cape Mendocino at 40 kts aimed southeast with seas to 29 ft tracking down the outer coast at 40N 140W. In the evening the fetch is to still be 35 kts but falling due south with near 30 ft seas at 35N 138W targeting no land mass. Sideband swell likely for the Central CA coast. with maybe some energy wrapping into Southern CA. But this system is still a ways from forming and the details on it's forecast will likely change. And yet another gale is to push off Kamchatka on Fri-Sat (11/12) with 35-40 kt west winds and 29 ft seas forecast. But it is way too early to believe this yet. [link to www.stormsurf.com] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4758924 Italy 11/08/2011 02:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A rapidly intensifying storm was approaching the west coast of Alaska on Tuesday and could become "one of the worst on record" for the region, the National Weather Service said in an alert. Quoting: Mooshi Kin The alert, issued by the NWS in Fairbanks, said the "extremely dangerous" storm would lash coastal areas from Tuesday night into Wednesday. It was expected to be just west of the Bering Strait by Tuesday night and then move into the southern Chukchi Sea on Wednesday. The storm will likely be "life-threatening ... one of the worst on record," the service said. "Essentially the entire west coast of Alaska is going to see blizzard and winter conditions: heavy snow, poor visibility, high winds," Bob Fischer, lead NWS forecaster in Alaska, told alaskadispatch.com.

The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms...

Just announced on KWHL that there is a storm coming into the Aleutian chain. They said something about a 10ft tidal surge just from the storm alone and that they haven't seen a storm this bad since 1974. Coincidence. North Pacific Excercise tomorrow, asteriod today, storm announcement today. Emergency test tomorrow. BTW I am in Anchorage right now and it's beautiful, clearest blue sky and about 9 degrees F. Dropped about 10 degrees since the snow storm yesterday. Thread: Radio Announcement on Radio in Anchorage! VERY BAD STORM COMING! |

suvalley User ID: 4863683 United States 11/08/2011 02:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We should get the effects of this storm in Southcentral starting tomorrow afternoon. I do recall a bigger low back in the late 70s, I think it was? 925 millibars in the Gulf of Alaska. We do get really big winds but seldom get national press about it.....but this is an effing monster and I am so glad I am not in a village along that coastline! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4848772 The mods decide which ones to pin .. they decide I guessing on which has the most accurate links and stories It's not a matter of this being more accurate, the other was already pinned when you created this almost identical one.
