Episode Details

Anchorage braced for a wild Thursday as brutal winds tore through the city, toppling trees—especially in Turnagain—and plunging neighborhoods into darkness. One Sand Lake resident woke up to a giant tree on her lawn and started handing out free firewood if you brought your own chainsaw. Gusts hit 53 mph on the Hillside and 47 mph at the airport, grounding pilots like Gerry Moriarty, who waited for calmer skies. Power outages spread across Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley, with midtown lights flickering out and a local restaurant losing thousands by turning away customers. Nature’s curveball reminded everyone to stay safe—and brace for cleanup.
