Dec 1, 2007
An intense Bering Sea storm with its associated front into the north Pacific produced heavy rain along the Alaska Peninsula. The combination of the heavy rain and a high tide resulted in excess water flow from Chignik Lake becoming dammed in the mouth of the river and flooding along the road into town.
