Typhoon Nuri's revenge: Massive superstorm will hit Alaskan islands

The fall is one of the stormiest times of year in the frigid and unforgiving waters of the Bering Sea, which separates Alaska from Russia. This November is proving to be no exception, as an exceptional weather event that could set global records for storm intensity is just a day away.

The storm ingredients include Typhoon Nuri, which is already beginning to shape shift into a larger, non-tropical (also known as an “extratropical”) storm. The typhoon is adding energy to the jet stream that is blowing at high altitudes across the North Pacific at speeds of nearly 200 miles per hour.
