Winds up to 90 mph have left residents in danger of frostbite and hypothermia.
The outages are especially dangerous as temperatures stay well below freezing in the area and a high wind warning is still in effect.
The high wind warning states that the area should continue to expect wind of 25 to 40 mph with gusts of 50 to 65 mph until Wednesday evening, according to the National Weather Service. According to Braun, as of Monday, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough had seen 48 hours of sustained wind, making it the fourth-longest strong wind event in the area, comparable to the third-longest that occurred in February of 1979 with 51 hours of strong winds.
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy issued a disaster emergency Monday, activating an assistance program for individuals and families who need help with disaster-related expenses.
