Hurricane in King Cove, AK.

It was the craziest night for weather that I have ever seen. We had 115 mile and hour winds, true hurricane weather. If you were to look at it on the radar you could see the hurricane eye directly over King Cove. As it passed over us it was sunny for about a half hour and calm. As soon as it passed over it was back up to 115 hr winds again! After school I had to go and get some milk and eggs. You have to drive along the lagoon that takes you over a bridge to the other side of the bay. The winds were from the northwest and hitting the suburban broadside. The waves were coming over the road and the water was at such a force that it came through the door cracks and got us soaked. We almost rolled because the suburban sits so high. Thank goodness it is a big heavy beast. The wind blew over 2 Peter Pan Vans. A four wheeler was rolling end over end down the boardwalk. Yikes! The stories I get to tell! We all survived and none of our gear was damaged. We are supposed to get another storm on Sunday. I hope I am able to get pictures.
