Cold Bay ASOS measured a 77 mph gust.

The wider storm

A rapidly developing low pressure system moved northward from the North Pacific, crossing the Aleutian Chain and then moving onshore near Bristol Bay at 965mb. It strengthened most rapidly while bringing a weather front across the Aleutian Chain, which led to anamolously strong winds in the Eastern Aleutians. Afterward, persistent gale to storm force winds in Bristol Bay brought water onshore in the northern Bristol Bay area.
