November 7, 2014 — Sig Hansen, captain of the fishing vessel Northwestern, featured in the television series "Deadliest Catch," told ABC News that folks in Alaskan waters are bracing themselves for what Typhoon Nuri may bring, including 50-foot waves.
The storm may hit the Aleutian Island chain in Alaska as early as Friday. Hansen has been fishing King Crab, northeast of Dutch Harbor in the Bering Sea, about 300 miles away.
"Right now, the weather's decent. We've been watching the weather reports, and so that's what's got us kind of skittish," he said. "We've had other reports coming in, which are very strange, like 25-knot winds with 30-plus foot [waves]. It's just very uncommon, so you know something's coming. It's just a warning sign for now. We're just on pins and needles here."
