Did it turn out as big as thought?
It hasn't been determined yet. One reporting buoy had the minimum pressure within 1.5 millibars of a record low but the center of the storm didn't pass over that buoy.
It probably will be a record low pressure for the north Pacific. Winds were 100+ knots out at Shemya for 12 hours. Sea states were 50-60 feet. Glad I wasn't out there.
It's a good thing that the storm was at its strongest way out in the sparsely populated Aleutian islands/Bering Sea.
