1+ day, 11+ hour ago (488+ words) PALMER " Thousands remained without power Sunday morning as a prolonged windstorm bringing gusts above 80 mph blasted Mat-Su, leaving many in the cold and dark as temperatures dipped into the single digits. Authorities opened a shelter at Mat-Su College late Saturday "due to multiple emergencies" occurring in the area, the American Red Cross of Alaska said in a statement. That included a fire in Wasilla that displaced five households as well as the hazards of the windstorm, which has damaged structures and knocked trees onto roads. Four people used the shelter Saturday night, according to Red Cross spokesperson Taylar Sausen. The shelter is being moved to the Menard Sports Complex in Wasilla because the college is running on generator power, Sausen said. That facility is expected to be up and running at 11 a.m. Sunday. The storm battered a broad swath of the…...

1+ day, 15+ hour ago (555+ words) A powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook Alaska's sparsely populated southeastern region on Saturday morning, sending tremors across international borders into Canadian communities and prompting emergency assessments across hundreds of miles of remote terrain. The United States Geological Survey reported that the temblor struck near Yakutat at approximately 11:40 a.m. local time, originating at a relatively shallow depth of 6.21 miles beneath the Earth's surface. The location, a tiny coastal community of just 657 residents as of 2020, sits roughly 300 miles from Anchorage, where residents also felt the ground shake beneath their feet. The initial event triggered a cascade of aftershocks throughout the region. Within hours, USGS sensors recorded three additional significant tremors, including a 5.3 magnitude quake and another measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale. Such sequences are typical following major seismic events, as geological stress redistributes along fault lines. The earthquake's reach extended well beyond American borders....
