CommentsTuktoyaktuk and Mackenzie Delta NT, September 22, 1993. A severe storm with winds from the northwest of up to 96 km/h generated a 1.68 m surge and raised water levels to 2.2 m above chart datum. Coincident with approximately 90% open water offshore, waves were relatively powerful and, together with the high water levels, resulted in damage to or destruction of about half the shore protection at Tuktoyaktuk, and flooding in the community and parts of the Mackenzie Delta.
