Iced-in Nome, Alaska Awaits Emergency Fuel Shipment
The people of Nome, Alaska, can do nothing but wait. A  hurricane-force storm in November pounded the small city of 3,600,  preventing a key fuel delivery. Now an icebreaker and fuel tanker are  moving painstakingly slowly through the frozen Bering Sea on an  emergency fuel run.
November’s monster storm was the strongest to hit western Alaska in 40 years. It tore through  the area with 89 mph winds, ripping off roofs, forcing area evacuations  and knocking out power. The storm also prevented Nome from getting fuel  delivered by barge before the winter ice closed in.
Shawn Pomrenke and his crewmates, who will be featured on the new Discovery Channel show ‘Bering Sea Gold,’ said “It’s been 20 below for I forget how many days straight.”
