Thanksgiving Rumble: M6.0 Alaska Quake Ripples Across the Continent 🌍⚡
While families carved turkey on November 27, 2025, Mother Earth sent a reminder: She's alive, shifting, and connected. A magnitude 6.0 quake hit 35 miles northwest of Anchorage at 8:11 AM Alaska time — strong enough to rattle homes from Fairbanks to the Yukon, but no major damage or tsunamis. Seismic waves? They didn't stop at state lines. Watch them pulse across North America like a heartbeat.

The Science: Waves That Connect Us All
P-waves (fast, compressional) hit first, zipping 6 km/s — reaching the Midwest in minutes. S-waves follow, shearing slower at 3.5 km/s, shaking the ground hours later. This M6.0 (depth ~43 miles) is normal for Alaska's Ring of Fire subduction zone, but on Thanksgiving? It's poetry — earth’s family dinner vibration.
Tie to the Phone Flash? Earth’s Got No Secrets Either
Just like your phone silently scans your face with invisible IR flashes, the earth "scans" us back with these waves — rippling truths we can't always see until they shake us awake. I've never owned a cell phone because I listen to Fast Buddy instead. This quake? Another nudge: Get still. Feel the real network under your feet.
