It's Just Dry Lightning And You On My Mind

Thunder and lightning are results of warm and cold air mashing together. The Mat-Su Valley and the Kenai Peninsula were hit with lightning last night and as a result there are several forest fires. It’s not evident yet in Anchorage, although the air certainly seems eerily hazy. How many times have you been working and watched a colleague drop everything in order to leave to make sure the fires aren’t reaching their house? Rural life in Alaska is a whole different life. There will definitely be some observations at The Life Alaska about rural living, but forest fires are just the beginning.
