One of the strongest storms to hit western Alaska in nearly 40 years battered coastal communities Wednesday with snow and hurricane-force winds, knocking out power, ripping up roofs and forcing some residents to board up windows and seek higher ground.

I will be saying prayers for all. I love Alaska, eventhough I have only seen it in pictures and the occasional special or tv show.

I cannot believe how cold is was today/last night. I mean, we had to go get our jackets out again. What is with that?? My neighbors have only been able to use their pool once this year.

That sucks.

I remember one year our kids could only use the pool a few times because of cold summer and rain. Right when the pool finally warmed up it'd rain or turn cold and gray.

This is from a couple of days ago but worth noting:

Baked Alaska: Unusual heat wave hits 49th state

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A heat wave hitting Alaska may not rival the blazing heat of Phoenix or Las Vegas, but to residents of the 49th state, the days of hot weather feel like a stifling oven — or a tropical paradise.

With temperatures topping 80 degrees in Anchorage, and higher in other parts of the state, people have been sweltering in a place where few homes have air conditioning.

They're sunbathing and swimming at local lakes, hosing down their dogs and cleaning out supplies of fans in at least one local hardware store. Mid-June normally brings high temperatures in the 60s in Anchorage, and just a month ago, it was still snowing...........more......

It's so hot out here that cats have taken over the swimming pools!
