Damage as recorded

Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

The dike eroded along Sawmill Creek causing flooding on 2 properties in the Clyde King Subdivision to flood; 1 house has 1.5 ft of water.

The wider storm

A deep, anomalously strong upper level trough and associated surface low dug southward across Western Alaska. As a result, nearly the entire atmosphere across Southern Alaska shifted to southwesterly flow, which brought copious amounts of Pacific moisture into Southern Alaska. This rainfall combined with already high water levels due to snowmelt from anomalously warm temperatures earlier in the month.

Began near Seward (60.1305, -149.3764).
