Alaska Superstorm Stats and Update w/video
Alaska Superstorm Stats and Update
Nov 9, 2011; 11:17 AM ET

UPDATE: Here's a cool satellite image / weather map from CIMSS. The NWS says the Nome storm surge will rise again tonight. Added Red Dog 87 mph gust below.

The potentially-historic "superstorm" I talked about yesterday is making "landfall" in Alaska today with a pressure equivalent to a Category 4 Hurricane. You can read more about the potential impacts in our news story (which calls it a "snowicane").

Here's some video from last night:

4. OMG..that video!
It may not loo like much at first, then you begin to think about SUSTAINED 80+ MOH winds, and it looks really deadly...and to have storm surge on top of snow? yikes.

my prayers are surely there...

6. Mom was in Nome and there is nothing tall on the horizon. Its
just flat as far as the eye can see. Scary place, no place to hide.
