High Wind in Eastern Baranof Island and Southern Admiralty Island, Alaska
High Wind November 24, 2005 · Eastern Baranof Island and Southern Admiralty Island, Alaska
The wider storm
Another fast moving low pressure system (966 MB) raced from the Pacific, northward through the Gulf, and inland near Cape Suckling. The associated front that was lifted up through Southeast Alaska mainly caused high winds along our higher terrain. Minimum criteria high winds did occur in a few spots, and with soils so saturated more treefall damage occurred. Some peak wind gusts from this frontal passage: Ketchikan Airport (roof) 63 mph, Five Finger Lighthouse, 62 mph, Sisters Island 59 mph, Hydaburg 58 mph, and Yakutat at 54 mph.
