@5thGenAK @AKMountain_dude Thanks for the feedback I always make sure to take advice from anonymous internet reply guys!!!

I haven’t tweeted in months but here’s yet another one of my neighbors struggling up our hill on a street that hasn’t been plowed since last Wednesday in the middle of Alaska’s largest city.

@5thGenAK I’m not sure why you’re assuming that’s their driveway. And whether you have sympathy isn’t my concern. That’s a municipal street that’s gone unplowed for over a week and many people in Anchorage don’t have trucks or SUVs or winter tires.

It’s Friday. It last snowed substantially on Monday. The rest of the streets in my neighborhood look the same, and there’s an elementary school two blocks away with no clear sidewalks. What is going on here?

We’re sector 23. Entirely residential, save for a few blocks. I may be wrong but all of the other untouched sectors seem to be entirely industrial to me, and so likely have private contractors plowing (not sure about 19 and 47).

Today is our birthday and KOTZ is celebrating 5 decades on the air. Come join us for lunch if you are in Kotzebue! Thank you so much listeners and supporters for making it happen.

Spent a lovely evening in Windsor, Canada yesterday visiting family. Did not see a Canadian flag the entire visit. They apparently don’t need to constantly remind themselves what country they’re in.

We want to make a special weather SEAKers podcast episode in response to the flooding last weekend in Juneau. We'll talk with local subject matter experts but before we sit down with them, we want to know what you want to know. #akwx youtube.com/watch?v=dSwzm6…

Juneau residents whose homes were lost or damaged during last weekend’s flooding can now apply for financial assistance from the state. The deadline to apply is Oct. 9. ktoo.org/2023/08/10/jun…

Juneau’s planning commission has approved a $150 million development on the waterfront. In addition to a new cruise ship dock, Huna Totem Corporation’s Aak’w Landing project will include a culture and science center, retail space and underground parking. ktoo.org/2023/08/09/jun…

School funding is so complicated in Alaska, and that discourages a lot of people from paying attention to it. Fortunately, @KatieAnastas is paying a lot of attention: ktoo.org/2023/08/09/a-f…

@mminjuneauak @JuneauEmpire @KTOOpubmedia Move on.

@mminjuneauak @JuneauEmpire @KTOOpubmedia All hands were on deck. We have a small staff these days, as you well know. As someone whose been in the thick of it during breaking news, I’d expect better from you. And I’m not going to sit here and let you mouth off when we both know your issue here is not with the journalism.

Kudos to @JuneauEmpire for doing real reporting of a natural disaster event, going to the scene, taking pics & actually talking to affected people So disappointed in former employer @KTOOpubmedia which apparently forgot how to do that juneauempire.com/news/record-fl…

Juneau has issued more than 40 $6,000 grants to residents who want to build mother-in-law apartments since 2016. But officials say that doesn’t make a big enough dent in today’s construction costs. ktoo.org/2023/08/08/jun…

Juneau's Deputy City Manager Robert Barr joined NPR hosts on today's episode of Here & Now to discuss the glacial flood that swept at least two houses into the raging river and damaged several other homes. Listen to today's episode: npr.org/2023/08/08/119…

@teenyray1 It's always mindblowing to see these shots.

Like me you’ve probably seen dozens of national outlets carrying footage of Juneau’s flooding and mischaracterizing what happened. Not on Anna’s watch!!

It's not in the past. The children impacted and their children and grandchildren are living with the consequences today adn.com/nation-world/2…

Juneau city leaders said homeowners should take photos and save their receipts as they begin repair and cleanup work after this weekend's flooding. ktoo.org/2023/08/08/cit…
