The wider storm
On the heels of the first storm, a second strong low developed south of the Panhandle on the night of 11/3. A triple point deepened to storm force 964 MB off Dixon Entrance around 9 AM. By afternoon the associated front moved onto Prince of Wales Island to drive some very strong winds for the southern Panhandle, BUT this case is unusual in that the wind damage was in the Juneau area with downed trees and power outages.
