Betty Soolook, 39, captured footage on Feb. 20 of a storm pummeling the coast at the village of Diomede in the Bering Strait where she lives. Some buildings suffered flooding, she said. Soolook said on Facebook there is open water when there should be six feet of sea ice along the coast. The National Weather Service said several warm storms from the south and warm water temperatures have contributed to an unprecedented lack of sea ice for the region in February. (Betty Soolook)
