I’m looking at the satellite loop of this storm and I just had a chill up my spine.
It’s a scary looking mama! I saw deep storms like this when I was stationed in the Azores. Those were ALWAYS fun. (Weather guy...you know how we are)
Kivalina Alaska is on a barrier island. The weather channel is saying that Hurricane force storm surge may overtop the entire town.
Plug it into Google Maps and you can see where I don’t want to be over the next few days. I understand they aren’t yet iced in with solid ice and therefore the surge will come straight at them I would expect.
