After crossing the Pacific Ocean, the storm brought hurricane-force winds that left one person dead and another two missing.

Authorities have rescued two dozen people from homes that drifted out to sea as around 1,300 were displaced.

Brea Paul, who filmed the video on 12 October in Kipnuk, said she had seen about 20 other houses floating away overnight, some of which "would blink their phone lights at us like they were asking for help but we couldn't even do anything".
