According to the US National Weather Service, a “cyclone bomb” with hurricane force winds and 18-meter waves struck a section of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. At the center of the storm, a potentially record low barometric pressure was recorded for the Bering Sea of 921 millibars. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. The National Weather Service reported that the wind speed in the western Aleutian Islands reaches 160 kilometers per hour, “it said in a statement.

The North Pacific is indicated to be used by cargo ships sailing between Asia and North America. The area is also important for industrial fishing.
