| episode_narrative | A significant Bering Sea storm moved into Norton Sound Thursday night. Strong southerly winds preceded the associated front, while strong westerly winds were observed along the 'back side' of the low.Strong onshore winds combined with maximum astronomical tides to produce the potential for coastal flooding as early as Thursday afternoon. The coastal flood threat continued into Friday morning.According to a report from Togiak on 9/13, at 4:05 pm ADT, 1 boat washed out to the beach (caused by the wind). The boat's anchor snapped Thursday morning. According to the NWS office in King Salmon, the Village Public Safety Officer (VPSO) in the community estimated "tide...10 ft above normal". It appeared that most significant water encroachment as on the "morning (Friday) tide".In Dillingham, officials suggested that the coastal flood was a minimal one ("very mild") and that they did not sustain any damage. The high tide and wind during the morning Thursday, and the next late Thursday afternoon, were mentioned as periods of concern.At Napakiak, one commercial fishing net was lost and the river reportedly overflowed its banks by 2-3 feet.
