Alaska Superstorm

The National Weather Service in Alaska states that an historic hurricane-force storm system is moving into the Bering Sea on Tuesday. The storm, which is forecast to have sustained winds of 80 mph over an area the size of Colorado, is also predicted to produce storm surge effects on the Alaskan coast 8 to 10 feet above normal water levels. The Alaskan city of Nome is in its path. 
The lack of the sea ice in the bering sea will allow this storm to cause a greater impact as it has little protection against the waves and surge its going to cause. Its also going to bring blizzard like conditions to westering inland Alaska.


This storm is going to be the worst they have seen in decades! They have not seen a storm like this sense 11-12-1972 storm that was destructive. 
Whats going on with all of this crazy weather these days!?

    The December 2012 thing? no way its not possible. the wold is just as likely to end now or tomorrow than it is then. However i strongly believe in global warming even though its a proven fact and not a opinion!:)
