Alaska is facing a life threatening winter storm with near hurricane force winds, more than a foot of snow and severe coastal flooding, the National Weather Service says. "This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening storm which will be one of the worst on record over the Bering Sea and the west coast," NWS forecasters said in a bulletin Monday afternoon. The storm was about 600 miles southwest of Shemya in the far western Aleutian Islands on Monday afternoon and was expected to move over the Bering Sea toward Alaska's west coast on Tuesday. Winds near hurricane force of 74 mph were expected to generate seas as high as 25 feet in the northern Bering Sea, forecasters said. The winds were expected to raise sea levels as much as 9 feet in the Norton Sound. Those levels combined with the high waves were expected to cause significant coastal erosion and major flooding. The winds may also push sea ice on shore, adding to the dangers, NWS forecasters said. Alaska's west coast could also see as much as 14 inches of snow in blizzard conditions, forecasters said. The storm was expected to last into Wednesday.

Worst storms ever is "normal" isn't it?
I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one...
Jeeze Brianna I didn't know that you cared? It's making me all misty. LOL! We got over 24" in the last three days here in South Central. It's EARLY. It's been record breaking SNOWY. It isn't even winter yet. This is GOOD. A good ground covering SNOW, long before -40F sets in, means that the plumbing is pretty safe. But, even here, alot of snow falling real FAST, especially this EARLY, can cause serious losses of life or property. In Alaska, especially in the bush, and along the western coast where this is supposed to hit worst, weather IS the determining factor in ALL aspects of life, no matter what the season is. Most urban folks outside don't understand or respect the weather. They think that the world is a city. LMAO! Gotta go dig firewood out of the snow. Grab the sled! LOL! BLUE SKIES! But ... gittin chilly and dark. LOL! WE don't give a D@MN how they do it outside! F' n A!
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
We shall send the Hoards of Hades towards you next! May a dying miserable froth-foaming dawg rot in HELL!
It's that damned global warming, dontcha' know.... LMAO.
DUMMY DwarF: ...I'm eating a meatball... "Whenver the dwarf sees something negative about a Democrat, he tries to change the topic of the thread to something else. Usually a personal attack, followed by mutterings about correct 'grammar' 'spelling' whatever. Anything he can think of to avoid a discussion about a Democrat screwing up or looking bad. It's a decade long pattern." --Badeye observation-- LOL! {ChUcKeLs} ESAD.

i'm sure you and yukon will be holding each other tightly to keep warm.
With warmer waters moving northward and the fact of the water cycle, you finally got something "right".
