GOLOVIN, Alaska \u2014 A historic storm blasted western Alaska Friday and Saturday with hurricane-force winds, over foot seas and coastal flooding not seen in decades, leaving homes flooded, roads washed away and power out to a wide area.<\/p>\n

What used to be Typhoon Merbok morphed into a powerful northern Pacific storm as it raced nearly due north and pushed through the Aleutian Islands Friday and into the Bering Sea Saturday, bringing a dangerous storm surge inundating coastal villages and towns under several feet of water for hours.<\/p>\n

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy declared a state disaster area Saturday morning and was set to ask the U. But Dunleavy says despite the record-breaking impacts, the emergency operation center had not received any reports of injuries.<\/p>\n

As the storm weakened and passed into the Arctic, towns and villages along the Bering Sea began cleaning up debris that had washed ashore. Dozens of homes and buildings flooded as the Bering Sea pushed inland, and several roads left damaged. In Nome, where waters the storm surge reached just over 10 feet \u2014 7 feet above the high tide line, high waters carried debris into the Snake River Bridge, causing damage.<\/p>\n

Water levels in Unalakleet peaked just over 13 feet Saturday morning \u2014 about feet above high tide line \u2014 reaching one of the largest peaks on record, according to the National Weather Service, with debris covering roads in town.<\/p>\n

Major flooding was reported in Golovin where a one-two punch of rain and wind raked the coastal town. A much as 6 feet of water came into the community along with a peak wind gust of 63 mph. The old Golovin airport was under water and photos from town showed debris littered across the area.<\/p>\n

Customize Your Weather. Privacy Policy. Storm has shifted toward SE Alaska and significant snow is no longer expected for southcentral Alaska Weather. Current Hazards. Rivers and Lakes. Along with flooding, wind gusts between 50mph and 75mph are expected, and could get as high as mph through the upper west coast of the state and into parts of the Aleutian Islands, according to Mike Youman, lead storm warning meteorologist at AccuWeather.<\/p>\n

Gusts that strong can rip trees up at their roots, crack large branches, and crumple poorly built homes and structures; widespread power outages were expected. Authorities are readying for the worst but say Alaskans have experience navigating severe storms, including the historic Bering Sea Superstorm that was strong enough to peel the roofs off buildings, topple tankers, sink boats and left widespread damage in its wake.<\/p>\n

But with such a large swath of the region facing high risks, this storm has threatened to outpace even that disaster. This early in the year, the region is without a strong ice cover, which helps protect against storm-induced strong waves.<\/p>\n

The climate crisis has added to the issue as warmer waters and higher temperatures left less sea ice to the blunt the force of a surging ocean.<\/p>\n

Alaska is warming at twice the rate of the global average, according to the Fourth National Climate Assessment , an analysis from climate scientists on how climate change will affect the US and sea ice is disappearing at an alarming rate. This is just the latest climatic catastrophe to hammer Alaska in recent months.<\/p>\n

A historically powerful storm slammed into Western Alaska Friday night and into Saturday, bringing major flooding and high winds to a huge swath of coastal communities.<\/p>\n

By Saturday evening, the state said it had received no reports of injuries or deaths related to the storm. Alaskans described water flooding homes and roads. Wind tore off roofs. Houses floated off their foundations. Boats sank. The water has begun receding in many areas, but further north, the peak of the storm surge is forecast to hit later Saturday night.<\/p>\n

As levels drop, more damage will be revealed. The storm is the remnants of what was Typhoon Merbok. Hundreds of people across multiple communities are sheltering in schools, which are serving as emergency evacuation centers.<\/p>\n

In other communities, the storm overwhelmed efforts. Mike Dunleavy issued a disaster declaration Saturday morning for affected communities. Below is our live blog, reported in collaboration with KYUK and KTOO, of accounts on Saturday from Alaskans impacted by the storm, as they took stock of the damage and as some braced for the weather to worsen. Gene Stone, the superintendent, said the district has been providing food, shelter and basic necessities at the school. He said about people spent the night at the Hooper Bay school on Friday.<\/p>\n

About hundred were expected on Saturday. The district was also sheltering about 70 people from Kotlik, a community northeast of Hooper Bay. It knocked storage sheds down, stripped siding off of buildings and peeled back the roof of the old Covenant church.<\/p>\n

He credits community leaders for pulling people together. The school has its own power generator, which kept running when a power outage hit the rest of Hooper Bay.<\/p>\n

He said the district is using supplies from its school lunch program and has plenty of food to feed people for now.<\/p>\n

Stone has taught in Hooper Bay and has experienced flooding from fall storms before, but says the combination of high winds and high water has been the worst in recent memory. Stone said there will be no classes taught at the Hooper Bay school on Monday to give its staff time to figure out what to do next.<\/p>\n

The principal is currently out on medical leave, leaving a new assistant principal in charge. Stone says she and other staffers are doing a good job of meeting the needs and making the health and safety of the entire village their top priority. City of Nome staff said on Facebook Saturday that several streets had flooded due to storm surges, and they urged residents to avoid those areas and limit non-essential travel for their own safety. Nome Mayor John Handeland told the Anchorage Daily News that an unoccupied home which had been swept into the Snake River and collided into a bridge over the river \u2014 seen in a photo posted online by state transportation officials \u2014 was likely to fall apart without damaging the bridge.<\/p>\n

He said that as the remnants of Typhoon Merbok dissipate, water levels in Nome were expected to fall. In Toksook Bay Friday night, lifelong resident Noah Lincoln took his four-wheeler out toward the cliffs to watch the waves roll in. Intense wind gusts whipped across the town. Lincoln spread his jacket wide and leaned forward, wondering if the wind was strong enough to lift him into the air.<\/p>\n

It was. But that may have been the most serious injury reported from Toksook Bay, according to Lincoln. The city mayor also says there were no serious injuries reported. The houses in Toksook Bay are built on higher ground, and none of them were flooded. However, high water pushed some boats in the harbor up the hillside, and one home near the shore had to be evacuated. The city mayor said wind caused minor damage to one of the businesses in town and some smaller structures, including sheds and porches.<\/p>\n

The town did not lose power. There were no mass evacuations, injuries, or severe property damage, according to the mayor. The main concern is erosion.<\/p>\n

In Toksook Bay, houses are built on cliffs overlooking the sea. Lincoln estimated those cliffs may have eroded by a foot or more last night. Lincoln said that it was the worst storm he has ever experienced.<\/p>\n

Hurricane force winds in the fall are unheard of, he said. According to the National Weather Service, the storm is the strongest to hit Western Alaska in the month of September since at least , when records of storms like this began. The berm was all that protected the small village from the sea.<\/p>\n

Resident Gloria Andrew also underscored the importance of the berm, made of gravel, sand and driftwood. She estimated the berm was destroyed between about 8 a. The winds are expected to shift and the seas to pound the coastline again. Shaktoolik is a village of roughly people and it sits on a gravel-sand spit between the Tagoomenik River and Norton Sound. Sookiayak called on the community to evacuate to the local school early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

People set up cots and air mattresses in the building, said Andrew. By late Saturday afternoon, Sookiayak said he had not heard of any storm-related injuries, and said everyone was accounted for.<\/p>\n

He said aside from the berm, he was also concerned about the storm-fueled erosion that occurred a few miles from town, tearing into the coastline. The Alaska Red Cross is preparing to mobilize disaster assistance teams to communities hit hard by the Bering Sea storm. Taylar Sausen, regional director of communications for the Alaska Red Cross, said logistics are the primary focus right now.<\/p>\n

The Alaska Red Cross has been coordinating with city and tribal governments as well as Native corporations, who are in touch with their shareholders. Sausen hopes disaster response teams can start heading to communities on Monday but said, depending on flood damage and the weather, it could take more time for help to arrive.<\/p>\n

In Scammon Bay, city administrator Larson Hunter said conditions are finally beginning to calm down. Although there was still significant flooding along their stretch of river, the village itself avoided the worst effects of the storm. Most of the town is built up to a hillside, which prevented any homes from flooding. Beyond their good fortune, the town was also prepared for high water due to another extreme flooding event in November This year, Scammon Bay city administrators preemptively informed residents of the flood risk and advised them to stage their boats further from the water.<\/p>\n

Although some boats still floated free from their anchor point, there were far fewer than in Nedza said her primary concern is for other communities in the far-flung district. Those included Golovin due to its extensive flooding and Shaktoolik, where she said a protective berm has largely been washed away by the storm. Nedza said U. Lisa Murkowski had already reached out Saturday to superintendents in districts affected by the storm to offer that assistance.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of residents take shelter at school in Hooper Bay, where the coastal flood warning extends into Sunday. More than additional people have taken shelter at the Hooper Bay School, bringing the total number of people seeking refuge there to more than , nearly a fifth of the town. Hooper Bay, pop. Vice Principal Brittany Taraba said the school handed out more than lunches today. The school has opened most of its classrooms for sleeping areas tonight. Taraba said morale has been relatively high, and the community has come together in the face of the storm, which has moved at least three houses off their foundations in Hooper Bay and flooded large parts of the village.<\/p>\n

She said residents have donated recently caught and processed moose to feed evacuees at the school. When Taraba spoke to KYUK, kids sheltering at the school were watching a movie and playing games in the gym. Crowley Fuels, one of the major fuel providers in the region affected by the Bering Sea storm, said it has not had any known structural damage to its infrastructure or equipment, like fuel tank farms. Torey Vogel, a spokesperson for Crowley, said the company has initiated its emergency action plan to safeguard against adverse impacts to the affected communities and the environment.<\/p>\n

Vogel said Crowley serves more than communities across the state. It provides fuel for homes, vehicles, planes, and equipment. He said there may be an oil spill. Stamm said AVEC crews are waiting for the storm to subside to assess the damage.<\/p>\n

The entire town of Napakiak is under about 4 to 5 feet of water, according to City Council member Walter Nelson and local contractor Job Hale. The water is receding, but very slowly. Both Nelson and Hale said advanced warning and community outreach helped residents prepare for the storm.<\/p>\n

Over the past few days, the tribe and the city went house-to-house, passing out pamphlets on what to expect from the storm. The roads are built higher than the rest of the village and are less prone to flooding. These roads are still mostly dry, and Hale said even rabbits and birds have started to take shelter on them.<\/p>\n

Most houses have also remained dry. But beyond that immediate good news, there are serious concerns about the erosion this level of flooding might cause. According to Hale, high water eroded at least 3 feet of shoreline on Friday even before the worst of the flooding began.<\/p>\n

Napakiak has been moving buildings away from the eroding river bank for decades. In recent years, that erosion has accelerated, as a warming climate has melted the permafrost, raised water levels, and amplified storms. The village is undergoing a managed retreat from the river because of erosion. The school sits only yards away from the Kuskokwim, and construction began this summer to demolish the back half of the building before it fell into the river.<\/p>\n

For now, Nelson said he was glad that people have been able to save their vehicles and stay safe. Several regional air carriers serving Western Alaska have suspended flights Saturday in response to the massive storm. Juliana Peterson, a customer-service manager with Grant Aviation, said just 10 flights were completed by the airline on Friday. All morning and afternoon flights Saturday were canceled, with evening flights on a weather hold pending updates from the National Weather Service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
