Huge Blizzard Hits Alaska's Western Coast

A large blizzard moving through the Bering Sea has struck Alaska's western coast causing damage and flooding. This is the largest storm to strike Alaska since 1974. The blizzard has brought along hurricane force winds, heavy snows, and lots of flooding along coastal cities. The flooding is a result of the large storm surge, in some areas the flooding has reached 10ft of water. The strong hurricane force winds have knocked out power in many communities and has even torn the roofs off of houses and buildings. Residents in the coastal communities have been advised to seek higher ground. As of now, Novemeber 10th, there has been no reported deaths due to the blizzard.
