Using a hand-held Garmin Montana 650t unit, I took photos of the tideline in three areas.

Unalakleet had no sea ice during the forecasted fall storm surge on Thursday the 9th of November 2017. The Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) provided a projected maximum surge height listed in the yellow color index for 11/9 at 1:06 AM. Using a hand-held Garmin Montana 650t unit, I took photos of the tideline in three areas: one near fish processing plant looking toward the baler facility at about 4:33 PM; two near baler facility looking towards the fish processing plant at about 4:26 PM; lastly, near the revetment (4:08 PM) looking toward the school and from the school looking toward the revetment (4:19 PM).
With the snow, it was difficult to discern the tideline. In addition to the tidelines, I documented my tracks using the Garmin unit adjusting the track setting to log about every 5 feet, which was saved as a GPS Exchange (GPX) format. From there, I imported the information into Google Earth Desktop as a KML track.
LEO says: This observation has been added to the project developed for this storm event.
