Thanks to AZskyman from his FB-With a central pressure hovering near 940 mb, this storm has given serious pause to parts of Alaska and especially the Aleutian Islands.http://mobile.newsminer.com/view/full_story/4985124/article-178-mile-winds-slam-Coast-Guard-station-in-remote-Aleutians

According to the link, it happened in Dec. 2009. But still must have been one heck of an experience.

I guess I didn't read it close enough. Now that you mention it I think we had some discussion here on S2K when that happened. :oops: :oops: I did think it was weird that there hadn't been anything on the net or other media about it.
