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.

Are there any live cams along the coast?...

The NWS office in Cold Bay has been talking all morning to a trawler trying to get ashore. Their engine is overheating and can only make 5 knots to the SSE. Hopefully they will be able to make shelter before too long.
I’m listening to boats all over the Bering on HF radio. They are all making runs for protected bays.

Yeesh, looks like a monster of a storm coming their way. Hope the fishing boat crews and the like are called in before it gets too bad (not sure how that works).
Stay safe, Alaskan FRiends.

Those isobars sure are close together! Let’s see what that storm does to the Left Coast and then the rest of America. I hope it produces an excellent Gore Effect for all of the OWS/neo-Brown Shirt thugs.
