Thanksgiving got off to a shaky start in south-central Alaska as a 6.0-magnitude earthquake rattled the region on Thursday morning.Video from Anchorage resident Vicki Heinrich shows the quake violently shaking flowers and furnishings inside her home.

The National Tsunami Warning Center confirmed that “a tsunami is not expected following the quake”. Alaska’s Department of Transportation said roadways, tunnels and key transport infrastructure would be inspected as a precaution, consistent with established protocols following moderate seismic events.

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck near Susitna, about 9 miles west of the community and roughly 30 miles from Anchorage.

A 6.0-magnitude earthquake rocked the Anchorage metropolitan area Thursday morning, according to the US Geological Survey.

Susitna is just west of Anchorage. According to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, the Alaskan quake set off a sensor in Forks, which registered a 3.4M. PNSN would later clarify there was no quake in Forks, but the sensor was alerted due to seismic waveforms.

At-risk communities face costly and limited options, and advocates say progress has been slow due to a lack of federal coordination and resources.

“The ultimate horror show is we end up with two projects,” said Antony Scott, a former Alaska public utility regulator who now works as an analyst for a green energy organization, Renewable Energy Alaska Project. “If each project is going to cost a half a billion dollars and you have two of them, then we’re paying half a billion for no reason.”

Russia is threatening to reject President Donald Trump's Ukraine peace plan unless "key understandings" from his Alaska summit with President Putin are upheld.
