Alaska experienced a series of significant earthquakes, including a powerful 6.0 magnitude quake that struck near Anchorage early on Thanksgiving morning. This tremor was part of a larger pattern, with nearly 500 earthquakes recorded in the region over the past week. Residents were jolted awake by the early-morning shake, which was felt widely across Southcentral Alaska. Additional moderate earthquakes, including a 5.6 magnitude quake southeast of Anchorage, were reported, contributing to the chaos of the holiday. The US Geological Survey confirmed that these quakes pose no tsunami threat, but the seismic activity has certainly unsettled the local population.
