Mount Spurr’s restless rumbling has Anchorage on edge. The 11,000-foot Alaskan volcano is shaking with about 100 earthquakes weekly, levels not seen since March 2025, signaling potential disaster. Scientists warn an explosive eruption could blanket the city in ash, and the woke crowd’s climate obsession isn’t helping prepare for real threats.
The New York Post reported that seismic activity at Mount Spurr spiked in April 2024, escalated through October, and now mirrors early 2025 peaks.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) reports this unrest could precede a massive eruption, though recent data suggests the immediate risk is slightly lower. This is nature’s raw power, not a problem for progressive platitudes.
Back in April 2024, earthquakes began rattling Mount Spurr, initially at 30 per week. By October, that number surged to 125, catching the AVO’s attention. The volcano’s behavior demands respect, not endless debates over carbon footprints.
Earthquake activity dipped from late March to April 2025 but roared back in mid-May. The AVO’s May 28 report noted “elevated” seismic levels, with roughly 100 quakes weekly. Mother Nature doesn’t care about your feelings or your politics.
“Earthquake activity beneath Mount Spurr remains elevated,” the AVO stated on May 28. That’s a polite way of saying trouble’s brewing. Ignoring these warnings for social justice crusades won’t stop ash from falling.
A gas measurement on May 23 showed slightly lower emissions than a month earlier, but CO2 levels remain above normal.
This hints at magma lurking beneath, though similar readings in 2004 and 2006 didn’t lead to eruptions. Science, not hysteria, should guide our response.
An eruption could send ash clouds soaring to 50,000 feet, potentially smothering Anchorage. The 1992 eruption dumped ash across the city, shuttering its airport. Practical preparation, not woke virtue-signaling, is what Alaskans need now.
If Mount Spurr blows, expect an explosive event like those in 1953 or 1992, lasting hours. Ash could travel hundreds of miles, disrupting air travel and daily life. Turns out, actions—or eruptions—have consequences.
“We’re not out of the woods yet, by any means,” said AVO researcher Matt Haney to Alaska Public Media. His candor cuts through the fog of bureaucratic optimism. Alaskans deserve straight talk, not sugarcoated assurances.
Deformation data suggests a magma intrusion over the past 17 months has paused. This could still spark an eruption, though the system isn’t currently unstable. Relying on luck instead of vigilance is a liberal’s gamble, not a conservative’s plan.
An eruption would likely stem from Crater Peak, the volcano’s side vent. Mudslides and volcanic debris could race at 200 miles per hour, but no communities lie in their path. “Fortunately, there are no communities in that radius,” Haney noted, a rare bit of good news.
“There are still earthquakes happening at Mount Spurr,” Haney told Alaska Public Media.
His words underscore the ongoing threat, even as some dismiss it. Complacency is the enemy of preparedness.
The AVO’s May 29 update reported continued low-level unrest with no signs of an imminent eruption. Additional warning signals would likely precede any blast, giving time to act. But time squandered on progressive pet projects won’t save lives.
