Epic Storm nears Alaska

[crosby]

Good morning everyone! Just caught a glimpse of this article on the web. thought it was curious given the timing of dates that we're watching at the moment. it isn't often that we hear of 'epic' storms off the alaskan coast, so i was thinking perhaps we might want to keep tabs on it.

WOW!!!!!



The storm was expected to produce at least a 10-foot surge, forcing dozens of coastal communities to make emergency preparations.

"It is very dangerous," said Andy Brown, lead forecaster for the National Weather Service in Anchorage. "Everybody is spreading the word."


May the 18 little villages and villagers be safe....

Wind and waves started picking up by late morning, said Scott Johnson, 28, a Nome banker, prompting some people to evacuate inland to stay with friends or family in case predictions for a big ocean wave surge prove to be true.

"The waves are starting to go up against our seawall," he said from his second-story apartment that sits on the ocean.


Johnson said he loaded a couple of bags into his truck and got gas so he's ready to go.

"If there are 30-foot waves, A, they might be coming over the sea and B, they might be coming into my apartment," he said.

thats interesting the epicentre of the cloud swirl seems to tie in with the big red cross that was shown on google earth with regard to an impact

[crosby]

that is exactly what i was thinking Pete. there has to be a tie in somewhere with this.

Hi, I have seen this big red cross on a few posts but am confused about hat we know about it. Is there any info about it..or is it just a big red cross that has appeared on NASA images with zero explanation?

Thanks

There are a lot of different threads about 11-9-11. I've posted a video in this thread:

After 0:45 he's talking about YU 55 and the big red cross.

There are also two maps of the region from the exercise manual:

this is an incredible picture of young ones tempting fate on the beach. this is the latest information that i have found. i'm hoping that the worst is behind them and that nothing else will come of this.
