Huge swaths of Alaska's western coastline are facing strong winds and flooding as a powerful storm threatens to be one of the worst in the state's recent history. "The strongest storm in over a decade is moving into the Bering Sea," the National Weather Service said Thursday as the storm approached. The remnants of Typhoon Merbok are expected to bring moderate to heavy rainfall to the region until Sunday morning. On Saturday morning, a "very angry sea" brought storm surge into the community of Port of Nome, the Weather Service station in Fairbanks, Alaska tweeted.
