You may be bootstrappy as far as handling stormy weather, but Alaska gets more federal taxdollar assistant per capita than any other state. Ah, yet another person with the barest minimum of knowledge of this state, using someone's partially accurate numbers to form their own very inaccurate conclusion. Just another thing we Alaskans have to deal with. sigh

I need to build a pad for my new FEMA trailer. A Maxi-Pad I am guessing! Something you must know plenty about. The second part in red, is you to a T.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

You just need Walt to direct his drivel to the west, it will create a high pressure system that will drive the storm to Russia.

Hope all is well up there in the great state of Alaska. Thought you might find the following comment from a reader of the story humorous. I've never heard of a Hurricane force storm hitting Alaska. Climate change still a myth?http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45218633/ns/weather/#.Trqdb3LzI_cCheers all keep your feet dry. Pfffffft........ Idiots. That's a normal thing out here on the AKPEN and Aleutians.

With fingers still crossed, I will have to say it could have been worse, and has been. And perhaps it is common for the sheet ice, and cakes, clumps, and so forth push onshore and mow things over in the Aleutians. However, wet is wet, and when the water rises high enough things that didn't or couldn't get moved, get wet. It's a pretty simple concept really. And, at this time of year, the water tends to be cold. From what I have been able to find out, it wasn't simply the strength of this storm that drew attention, it was the speed at which it formed, and how deep. It made a pretty good swath also. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE MAXIMUM WIND GUSTS SO FAR:
BUCKLAND........56 MPH AT 316AM WED CAPE LISBURNE...81 MPH AT 700AM WED CAPE ROMANZOF...60 MPH AT 300AM WED DEERING.........61 MPH AT 319AM WED EMMONAK.........62 MPH AT 1100PM TUE GAMBELL.........74 MPH AT 600PM TUE GOLOVIN.........64 MPH AT 1200AM WED KIANA...........54 MPH AT 715AM WED KIVALINA........71 MPH AT 323AM WED KOTZEBUE........74 MPH AT 600AM WED KOYUK...........41 MPH AT 800AM WED MARSHALL........64 MPH AT 1100PM TUE NOATAK..........62 MPH AT 1036AM WED NOME............61 MPH AT 900PM TUE NOORVIK.........67 MPH AT 423AM WED POINT HOPE......78 MPH AT 500AM WED RED DOG MINE....48 MPH AT 935AM WED SAINT MARYS.....61 MPH AT 900PM TUE ST MICHAEL......68 MPH AT 1200AM WED SAVOONGA........76 MPH AT 700PM TUE SCAMMON BAY.....72 MPH AT 800PM TUE SHAKTOOLIK......64 MPH AT 115AM WED SHISHMAREF......57 MPH AT 1216AM WED SHUNGNAK........69 MPH AT 900AM WED TELLER..........71 MPH AT 600AM WED TIN CITY........85 MPH AT 1200AM WED UNALAKLEET......66 MPH AT 1200AM WED WALES...........89 MPH AT 142AM WED Hooper Bay to Cape Lisburne seems like a pretty fair swipe, and that's only Alaska. The low actually passed over or closer to the Russian mainland. But again, it's less about the wind, and more what happens when water gets pushed through a narrow place like the Bering Strait. The Bering Sea (or the Chuckchi) get a bit unruly when you try to shove that much water through a relatively narrow spot. Certainly makes the day more interesting than usual, although some uncertainty was certain.
