Kotlik, a community of about 600 people in the Yukon River Delta, took the brunt of the storm’s blow. A rushing surge of seawater and ice destroyed the village’s sewer and water distribution lines and damaged at least five homes, state emergency officials said. The storm also broke a five-mile-long water supply pipe in Unalakleet, officials said. Elsewhere, a Stebbins resident reported flooding around numerous homes as well as damage to a road across from the school. Damage was also reported in other villages, including Shaktoolik and Golovin. ienearth.org/heavy-storm-devastates-coastal-communities-in-western-alaska/
