No mention of 1964 tsunami

In 1964 a tsunami with 35 foot waves wiped out Kodiak's business district. http://www.kodiak.org/earthquake.html and Michael Palin's Full Circle (1997). This would seem to be worth mentioning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.192.125 (talk) 23:17, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Coast Guard

This page needs a section on the Coast Guard station, preferably its history and present population and duties. NancyHeise ^talk 02:01, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

City vs community

The jet airport is NOT in the city. Most of the community lives outside the city limits. Good demographics are available at www.zipskinny.com for 99615. This gives the true picture about population of the COMMUNITY and not just what is within the CITY. I'm one of those who lives just north of the city. I have a nice military history at www.kadiak.org which also has a page or two about the 1964 tsunami. Wl7aml (talk) 02:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping! I agree that the page needs to be improved. I want to work on this as I have time. NancyHeise ^talk 05:25, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are 7 communities on Kodiak, not 6

In addition to the city of Kodiak, there are 6 villages on the island (Ahkiok, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, Port Lions and Karluk). —Preceding unsigned comment added by TaleofGenji (talk • contribs) 04:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions

Kodiak has the only commercial rocket launch site in the US, the Kodiak Launch Complex
Kodiak is almost entirely green between the hydro-power and the three newly installed wind generators:

"Rusty Tusty"

Having grown up in Kodiak, I've never heard the term "Rusty Tusty". Nor have my friends or girlfriend (who were also raised in Kodiak). This may represent a small demographic. Anyway, if it can be cited, fine, but we don't want to use an encyclopedia to invent terminology. I'm removing it for now. Xurtio (talk) 21:05, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
