Powerful wind gusts and significant coastal flooding were the main impacts from the storm as it swept up across Alaska’s west coast into early Monday morning. Numerous locations across western Alaska reported wind gusts of 40 mph to 60 mph, with isolated gusts topping 70 mph.
Major, and in some cases destructive, coastal flooding hit some communities along the coast as water levels were more than 6 feet above normal high tide levels at times.
Multiple homes were swept away in low-lying coastal towns along the Bering Sea and in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region, Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan said in a statement.
At least eight homes in the town of Kipnuk were pushed off their foundations, and at least four homes in the town of Kwigillingok were inundated by the flooding, according to Alaska State Troopers.
“Both communities experienced strong winds and heavy flooding overnight, which caused significant damage,” state troopers said in a statement.
“The storm, which formed in the Philippine Sea earlier this month, brought massive waves and destruction from Saturday night into Monday, leaving parts of Alaska’s western coast underwater and families homeless,” Mario Nawfal noted.

The Alaska Department of Public Safety said Monday that 51 people and two dogs had been rescued from Kipnuk and Kwigillingok.
A woman was confirmed dead in Kwigillngok, the Alaska State Troopers said Monday evening. Two people remain unaccounted for there, the agency said.

A typhoon is another for term for a hurricane that is used for storms that form in the Northwest Pacific. Both terms describe tropical cyclones.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong began as a tropical storm in the Philippine Sea on Oct. 5, then strengthened to a typhoon before it passed Japan as a Category 3 storm, according to the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere.
Kipnuk saw winds of 79 mph from the typhoon’s remnants, the National Weather Service office in Anchorage said.
