“Right now we’ve got some hundred, close to 100 homes that are stranded without power,” an Anchorage public works official said. “We’re looking at an avalanche that’s somewhere between 60 and 80 feet deep and 300 to 400 feet wide.”
Anchorage police and other officials are responding to an avalanche on Hiland Road in Eagle River on Mar. 25, 2022.
Police first responded to the avalanche at around 1:15 this morning, where the avalanche was initially estimated at around 40 feet deep. Littlefield says it’s now estimated to be deeper. According to Matanuska Electric Association, about 145 homes in the Hiland Road area are without power. The avalanche took down a power line and damaged two poles. Officials say their crews were not able to work on the issues this morning because it was deemed unsafe.
