OPINION: 'For the most part, Alaskans are pretty damn good in a crisis. But we know that we can’t stay there forever,' writes Erica Watson, reflecting on the impacts of the recent windstorm on her and her neighbors around McKinley Village.
My partner, a heavy equipment mechanic whose personal plow rigs were two of only a handful of vehicles in the neighborhood able to handle day after day of snow preceding the outage, said as we collapsed onto the couch still halfway dressed for -75º wind chill on the second night, “I hope people talk about this for a long time. If they stop talking about it, that means it’s becoming normal.”
As I write this, the temperature has dropped to -32º F, but without the winds of recent days, it feels almost balmy by comparison. The power is out again; in the window before phones and internet died, word was that this outage was necessary to fix a larger problem. As far as I’m concerned, after working overnight through the windstorm to restore our power, this Golden Valley Electric Association crew can do anything.
