Alaskan storm gets its closeup


Alaskan storm gets its closeup

An incredibly powerful storm is slamming the coast of Alaska. Streets have flooded, roofs have been ripped away, and citizens have lost power. The winds are on par with a hurricane, and weather watchers have called the storm the most powerful one to hit Alaska in nearly four decades.
People caught in the storm have been capturing the chaos on video. One of the most compelling clips shows immense waves of water and mist battering the coast. Look closely and you'll see an excavator used in construction stuck under several feet of water.

People have also been busy photographing the storm's fury. Nome, Alaska, a small city on the state's far West Coast, bore much of storm's brunt. You can check out the slideshow below for some harrowing photos.
