From the article: "More than 152,000 Alaskans – 68 percent of those voting – voted to define marriage in our state Constitution as a union of one man and one woman.  Yet on October 12th, one unelected federal judge decided to impose his own ideology and strike down Alaska’s marriage amendment.  He did so on the utterly spurious grounds that it violates the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. A little history refresher:  The 14th Amendment became part of the Constitution in 1868.  If you drink the same Kool-Aid as modern-era activist judges, then somehow you must conclude that homosexual "marriage" became a constitutional right a few years after the American Civil War ended – but it just took us 146 years to figure that out.  Imagine how many other hidden, mysterious rights we have in the Constitution that are just waiting to be “discovered” by unelected judges who believe that wearing a black robe entitles them to short-circuit the democratic process."

NWS Special Statement Statement as of 5:57 AM AKDT on October 10, 2014 ...Heavy rain and strong winds Friday through Sunday... A strong low pressure system has entered the southwestern Gulf. An associated frontal boundary is advancing eastward over Southeast Alaska and producing gale force winds over portions of the eastern Gulf and Inner Channels and gusty conditions over land areas. Moderate to heavy rain showers will persist through Sunday...with rainfall totals likely ranging from 2 to 4 inches for most of the region...and locally exceeding 5 inches. Warm air in advance of the front has raised freezing levels to 6000 feet or higher...resulting in melting snow and runoff over the higher elevations. The combination of heavy rain and runoff will result in rising water levels for area creeks...streams...and rivers. However...no flooding is expected at this time. Gusty winds and heavy rain will increase the risk for mudslides and uprooted trees. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 0330 ADT: High Rain Rate of .22" of Rain per hour.

NWS Special Statement Statement as of 5:30 AM AKDT on October 09, 2014 ...Heavy rain and strong winds Thursday through Sunday... A storm force low pressure system is approaching the Gulf of Alaska from the southwest. The associated frontal boundary will move east across the Gulf and approach the outer coast later today causing winds to increase to gale force over the outside waters as well as Cross Sound...the ocean entrances near Cape Decision...and Clarence Strait. Moderate to heavy rain is forecast to develop and persist today through Sunday. Rainfall totals will likely range from 2 to 4 inches for most of the region...with values locally exceeding 5 inches. Warm air will also cause freezing levels to rise to 6000 feet or higher...resulting in melting snow and runoff over the higher elevations. The combination of heavy rain and runoff will cause water levels in area creeks...streams...and rivers to rise. However...no flooding is expected at this time. In addition...strong gusty winds are likely for coastal land areas. The combination of strong winds and heavy rain will increase the risk for mudslides. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed. 10/08/14: NWS: Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Thursday through Sunday - See 1452 Below 2120 ADT: Thin - Very Thin Overcast, Veiled Moon shining through the overcast. 2020: Cloudy. .01" of Rainfall to this point today. 1950: Cloudy. 1850: Cloudy. 1800: .01" of Rainfall to this point today. 1750: Cloudy, a few hints of blue far to the NNW. 1650: Cloudy with thinnish and thicker clouds, a bit of variably filtered blue. 1635: Cloudy with thin to thinnish and thicker clouds, some variably filtered blue, extremely weak to weakened sun on the mainland. 1550: Cloudy with some hints of blue, almost extremely weak to very weak sunshine. 1500: .01" of Rainfall to this point today. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1452: NWS: Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Thursday through Sunday. NWS Special Statement Statement as of 2:52 PM AKDT on October 08, 2014 ...Heavy rain and strong winds Thursday through Sunday... A strong low pressure system will enter the Gulf of Alaska on Thursday. As this occurs...winds over the outside waters and inside channels will strengthen to small craft late Wednesday night. As a frontal boundary moves east toward the coast of Southeast Alaska during Thursday...winds will increase to gale over the outside waters...as well as Cross Sound and Clarence Strait. Moderate to heavy rain is forecast to develop and persist tonight through Sunday. Rainfall totals will likely range from 2 to 4 inches for most of the region...with values locally exceeding 5 inches. Warm air will also cause freezing levels to rise at or above 6000 feet...resulting in melting snow and runoff over the higher elevations. The combination of heavy rain and runoff will cause water levels for area creeks...streams...and rivers to rise. However...no flooding is expected at this time. In addition...strong gusty winds are likely for coastal land areas. The combination of strong winds and heavy rain will increase the risk for mudslides. This statement will be updated by 6 am akdt Thursday or sooner if conditions warrant. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1450: Cloudy with breaks, some clouds, bits, and wisps around the top of Mt.

Rainfall totals through Sunday evening of up to 5 inches are possible for some areas with most locations receiving 2 to 4 inches. Snow levels will rapidly rise on Thursday to above about 6000 feet...causing runoff. This...in addition to the heavy rains...will cause water levels for area creeks...streams...and rivers to rise. At this time no flooding is expected. In addition...gale force winds are forecast to develop over the outside waters Thursday and possibly again on Saturday. Gales will also occur in Cross Sound.
