On the evening of June 8th, the earth beneath the Gulf of Mexico shifted — briefly, but broadly enough to remind three nations that they share more than water. A 6.1 magnitude earthquake, centered a hundred kilometers off Cuba's western coast, sent tremors through Havana, across Florida, and into the resort cities of Mexico's Caribbean shore. No one was harmed, no structure fell, yet the twenty-second tremor touched millions of lives at once — a quiet demonstration of the geological forces that underlie even the most ordinary evenings.
