Residents on Alaska’s western coast braced for dangerous weather as the remnants of Typhoon Merbok traversed the Bering Sea region. The storm hit late Friday night and will last through the weekend.
“Latest models show coastal surge higher than the November 2011 storm that brought significant flooding to the area,” the National Weather Service (NWS) said, adding that flooding could be “potentially historical.”
“This is a dangerous storm that will produce widespread coastal flooding south of the Bering strait with water levels above those seen in nearly 50 years,” NWS warned.
