This week vs. normal

The state shake league

States ranked by how unusual their week is for them — a percentile of the last 7 days against each state's own ten-year record. 100 means busier than any comparable week on record.

History

Ten years of big ones

The largest earthquakes in and around the United States since 2016. Height is magnitude; the ring shows the energy — each step of one magnitude releases about 32 times more.

How this works

Live, not rebuilt

We read the USGS real-time feed every 30 seconds, and each earthquake gets its own page within a minute of USGS publishing it. This page refreshes itself every minute while it is open.

Normal, for here

A busy week in California is a quiet one; two quakes in Georgia is a lot. The QuakeIndex score compares each place against its own ten years, so "unusual" means unusual for there. The method →

Sourced, always

Every number shows when it was last updated and links to USGS, the record of authority. QuakeIndex does not issue warnings or forecasts. For early warning: ShakeAlert and MyShake.
