Bizarre and Extreme Alaska Storm !!!! Amateur footage HD WATCH IT HERE !!!! ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Initial reports from towns along Alaska's northwest coast early Wednesday indicated that a massive Bering Sea storm had tossed rocks onto roads, eroded beaches and blown off roofs — and that's before water surges expected to peak Wednesday night.
In Nome, the largest town with 3,600 residents, the main street was closed due to rock and log debris. Residents were told to stay off streets due to live wires from downed power lines, and a highway was feared cut by beach erosion.
Roofs were also blown away overnight, when the height of snow and hurricane-force winds hit at about 2 a.m.
"Waves were hitting Front Street since after 1 a.m.," Nome resident Penny Frieda Olanna posted on Facebook. "We could see the waves flying and our window is covered in sleet, the waves are splashing high."
A voluntary evacuation earlier moved some residents from beachfront businesses and homes to shelters at a community center and a church.
The last time Alaska's northwest coast saw something similar was in November 1974, when Nome also took the brunt of the storm. That sea surge measured more than 13 feet, pushing beach driftwood above the level of the previous storm of its type in 1913.
The storm surge is expected to reach 9 feet in Nome, but not until late Wednesday night.
Officials are also concerned for Alaska Natives in the 18 villages in the region, where communications were disrupted.
"It's still really nasty. It's not over yet," Bob Fischer of the National Weather Service told alaskadispatch.com. "There's a lot of time remaining for more flooding and damage to occur."The village of Point Hope, which sits on the tip of a peninsula with the Arctic Ocean on one side and the Bering Sea on the other, is seven to eight feet above sea level, said Mayor Steve Oomittuk.
The Inupiat Eskimo village of about 700 people has no sea wall and no evacuation road. If evacuation becomes necessary, everyone will go to the school because it sits on higher ground and is big enough to accommodate everyone, he said.
Smaller communities that are vulnerable to storm erosion were of particular concern, especially the village of Kivalina, already one of the state's most threatened communities because of erosion.

Blizzard conditions prevailed overnight in quite a few places with sustained winds of 60 mph and gusts to 85 mph.
