with waves of 50 feet (15 meters) or more.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Mike Dunleavy has issued a disaster declaration.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the remoteness of many coastal villages, and with communications limited, a full picture of the damage is expected to emerge slowly.<\/p>\n<p>But officials and local residents said the destruction was severe. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So many communities I have visited, from Bethel, Unalakleet, Quinahgak, Hooper Bay and up to Nome and Teller, have been inundated by the storm,&#8221; Lisa Murkowski, one of Alaska&#8217;s US senators, tweeted Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am heartsick at the devastation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The state Emergency Operations Center said it had received &#8220;reports from multiple communities of power disruptions, damaged homes&#8230;flooding and infrastructure damage,&#8221;

Clarabelle Lewis, a tribal official with the Chinik Eskimo Community, told the Anchorage Daily News. &#8220;We&#8217;ve never had homes moved from their foundations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In Shaktoolik, a village of some 220 people on a gravelly spit between the Tagoomenik River and Norton Sound, Mayor Lars Sookiayak said that a berm built to protect the town from the sea\u2014which had withstood many previous storms\u2014had been wiped out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re pretty heartbroken,&#8221;
