From the Storm Events narratives, unedited.

This flooding was not caused by heavy rain, but by storm surge moving up along the Kuskokwim River into the intertidal zone. The community of Tuntutuliak experienced major flooding due to the surge flowing up into the Kuskokwim River channel, with the worst flooding observed near the time of normal high tide on the morning of October 12th. Based on early high water survey data conducted by the Department of Geological and Geophysical Survey, water levels reached several feet above the normal high tide height in Tuntutuliak, similar to what was observed father upstream along the Kuskokwim River. The Alaska State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) reported that multiple homes were moved from their foundations by water and that an unknown volume of waste oil was spilled from a service station in the community as a result of the water inundation.

A best track is the record a warning agency settles on after the storm, not what it said at the time: position, maximum sustained wind and central pressure every six hours, revised against every observation that came in later. Category is the Saffir-Simpson scale, which runs from Category 1 at 64 kt to Category 5 at 137 kt and reads wind only, so it says nothing about surge or rain. Accumulated cyclone energy adds up the square of the wind through the storm's life, so it counts strength and duration together.
