Worst storm in years batters Western Alaska coast

No fatalities, injuries or missing persons had been reported by Saturday night, but many communities were underwater and without power as the storm approached its peak.

By late afternoon, it was moving into the Chukchi Sea. Photos, >click to read< 07:52
