ANCHORAGE, Alaska,(Reuters): A storm forecast to be one of the worst on record in Alaska lashed the state's western coastline on Wednesday, tearing roofs off buildings and sending surges of water and debris into communities, authorities said.
The storm, which began hitting Alaska late on Tuesday after building over the North Pacific Ocean, brought winds measured at up to 89 miles (143 km) per hour and early flooding to the remote communities and Native villages along the coastline.
