“This is a storm of epic proportions. We’re not out of the woods with this.”-Jeff Osiensky, National Weather Service

A storm as strong as a category 3 hurricane/typhoon hit the coast of Alaska the night of November 9.  Anchorage saw ocean surge of 10 feet above normal. The last time a similar storm hit Alaska was in November 1974.

The Weather Service says Alaska can expect three to four inches of snow for November 10.  There is “a potent upper level disturbance” rotating around the Bering Sea.

Ironically, Wednesday’s planned test of the new National Emergency Alert System was cancelled in Alaska because of the weather, I’d say that shows the new Emergency Alert system failed.
