The impacts of Typhoon Merbok across southwestern Alaska are expected to be the 'worst storm in years,' and many remote Alaskan island residents do not have the capabilities to evacuate by roadway.
A robust storm system, consisting of the remnants of Typhoon Merbok, is expected to produce hurricane-force gusts and seas upwards of 50 feet at the end of the workweek and start of the weekend for parts of America’s Last Frontier.
"It’s definitely going to be a significant event. It’s shaping up to be one of the worst events that we’ve seen for years," the National Weather Service office in Fairbanks, Alaska said. Several alerts that include a Coastal Flood Watch, Storm Warning and Gale Warning have been issued by the NWS ahead of the arrival of the worst of the weather, which is expected to happen on Friday and into Saturday.Meteorologists and first responders are most concerned about the maritime community, which produces most of the nation’s seafood.
