ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - One year ago, people in Western Alaska were waiting for the water to recede and the winds to calm so they could clean up from one of the most destructive storms to ever hit that region.

Chief Meteorologist Melissa Frey takes us back to the weeks last fall when fellow Alaskans were surviving a dangerous storm and its aftermath.
