Peak winds thru 6pm AKDT 62mph at St. George and 54 mph at St Paul but winds will be stronger when the storm center moves to the north of the Pribilof Islands. #akwx @markspringer.bsky.social

UPDATE FROM SHISHMAREF:

“The government delayed funds for our projects for sea wall... We cannot keep protecting with sea wall against Mother Nature… Cannot stop rising sea levels. Wish our fed and state agencies can help all the communities in danger of flooding and erosion”

FB reports that Kivalina (northwest of Kotzebue) is now evacuating due to coastal flood threat. Kivalina does have road access to inland area. #akwx #AlaskaSky

shaktoolik, kivalina, and shishmaref are a few of the villages that i always keep an eye on…

when big storms hit rural alaska communities, i struggle to sleep until it passes and we get word that they’re safe

"our greatest fear is a storm will hit shaktoolik in the middle of the night and, when we pick up the phone in the morning the line is dead, and the whole community is wiped out."

i’m expecting a declaration of emergency from dunleavy—and am hopeful that the native village of kotzebue will apply for a federal declaration as well
