Unalaska, AK – A massive storm rocked Unalaska on Friday night. Winds started kicking up around 6 pm. By about 9:30 pm different points clocked wind speeds ranging from 80 miles per hour at the senior center to about 115 miles per hour at the airport.

Unconfirmed reports say the wind was blowing about 170 miles per hour at the APL dock when the crane blew over around 8:45 pm. No one was injured. Local APL representatives have declined to comment. They are still assessing the situation. The company's official spokesperson in California could not be reached for comment either.

Other areas of the community were also damaged. The roofs blew off of multiple houses on Standard Oil Hill. Many others around the community lost pieces of their roofs or had windows blown in. Gravel blew up from road ways and broke car windows. People reported their houses and cars shaking and windows trembling. Some, like Suzi Golodoff, prepared to evacuate if necessary.

"It was wild. The wind was just shrieking. And my fence was wagging like a dog's tail in the wind, back and forth, but it stayed. I woke up and had parts of roofing all over the road. Nails and stuff. I can't believe that crane, though. That's just amazing. I didn't hear it because the noise of the wind was so loud. It was just loud all night shrieking and the house trembling. I slept with all my clothes on and my boots by the door in case my roof peeled off."

Vicki Peck watched as water and mud flowed down from Ballyhoo onto the road early in the evening. "As we were driving by, we looked up and the hill was just like Niagara Falls and it was like, man, when did that ever happen!" Soon after a small landslide blocked the road but was quickly cleared by roads crews.

Harriet Hope spent the evening watching her wind speed monitor that she hooked up to the roof of the senior center. She said she watched the numbers climb into the 80s and didn't think it would go any higher.

"And then you could hear them kind of coming, across the lake, coming at you. It sounds like a train or something coming towards you. You can hear em coming. And when it hits, it's like, Wow. And then I saw it hit 105 and I thought then, oh I gotta get outta here!"

She said she talked with friends on the phone and thought about the senior center evacuation plan. Hope said that she was scared, but not surprised. She grew up in the community and remembers a childhood storm where winds hit 200 miles per hour and blew over a group of old Russian buildings near where Aleyeska is now. She said storms are just part of life here.

"It seems strange if they don't happen."

This was the second major storm to hit Unalaska in two days. A snow storm that turned to rain on Thursday closed the schools and the city and flooded roads in the valley.
