Did the Ground Just Move?
This page lists the most recent earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 and above from the US Geological Survey's official live feed, updated every few minutes. Each entry shows magnitude (color-coded), location, depth and how long ago it struck. Share your location and the list re-sorts by distance from you, answering the "was that an earthquake?" moment with data instead of guessing.
The feed is fetched directly by your browser from earthquake.usgs.gov; nothing passes through this site's server. Magnitudes may be revised slightly in the first hours after an event as more stations report — that is normal seismology, not an error.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fresh is the data?
USGS updates the feed continuously; events typically appear within minutes of detection. Refresh the page for the latest list.
Why did a magnitude change after first being reported?
Early magnitudes are automatic estimates from the first stations. As more data arrives, seismologists refine the value — revisions of a few tenths are routine.
Does "near me" upload my location?
No — your coordinates stay in the browser and are used only to compute distances locally. The USGS feed itself is the same for everyone.
