Crews working a wildfire on the Kenai Peninsula spotted the funnel but it is not clear whether it was over land or water.

The Kenai Peninsula is to the south of Anchorage.

If it was over water that would make it a waterspout, it is a tornado if it is over land.

Tornadoes are rare in Alaska with only a handful being reported over the years.
