Do the deadliest catch boats get affected by this and do they have to come in to port or do they just ride out the storm at sea?

All depends where in the Bering they are, some might be hiding out behind the Pribs or other islands where others might be to far away to run so they just get another arse whipping. This storm was forcasted well in advanse so hopefully most of them made it someplace to hide. Check out KTUU.com they usually have links to videos with live reports from the villages.
