Also, of course, again, it's great to hear that all members of the Icy Mist crew were safely rescued, such a relief! <BR/><BR/>I can't imagine Storm winds like that! When we get hurricanes, as far inland as I am, we get maybe 50-70 mile gusts at the absolute most! I too love a storm and would just like to feel wind like that...safely away from any flying debris!<BR/><BR/>Also, as a proud user and lover of libraries, kudos to your branch!Elizabeth Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972893410555882013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863301631303294594.post-11875293527125021992009-02-26T09:26:00.000-09:002009-02-26T09:26:00.000-09:00Lori, the buildings with the blue/grey roof are Un...Lori, the buildings with the blue/grey roof are Unisea housing. The hotel has a red roof and you can see part of it peeking through, between the boat and the dock in Steve's photo.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743017995625896679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863301631303294594.post-53739479655611771862009-02-26T07:00:00.000-09:002009-02-26T07:00:00.000-09:00That houseboat looked like a submarine.

I love our library and the employees..they know, I visit them every other day :)<BR/><BR/>That was scary about the Icy Mist...glad it all worked out, I can't even imagine flying in those winds!

If you go back to the home page, there's a video that was made by the USCG.

OK, so in winds like that in FL, we'd be freakin' out and boarding up windows. I still can't believe you guys get hurricane force winds without the hurricane. I just can't imagine building homes in Unalaska to hurricane code - LOL! <BR/><BR/>In the third pic down Steve, the buildings with the blue/grey roof - is one of those the Grand Aleutian Hotel? Is your house in any one of the pictures?<BR/><BR/>Will read about the F/V Icy Mist now as your blog is the one that informs me most or first. Glad everyone is safe and will continue to pray for all the boats still out fishing.<BR/><BR/>Kudos to your library too!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971675930192275190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863301631303294594.post-11361328040001909152009-02-26T03:46:00.000-09:002009-02-26T03:46:00.000-09:00Thanks Steve what a frightening experience for the...Thanks Steve what a frightening experience for the houseboat.

The only damage I was aware of during the storm was the houseboat incident, and only because up until June, I knew someone who lived there alone. Thanks be, she moved!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
