Earthquakes are rare here

13 earthquakes of M1.5 or larger have been recorded in Florida in 10 years, and most weeks have none. There have been none in the last 7 days.

With so few, a QuakeIndex score — this week as a percentile of Florida's own weeks — would only say whether anything happened at all, so none is shown. That is a statement about Florida, not about our data.

Before 2016: the largest in Florida since 1900

The USGS record from 1900 to 2015 lists no earthquake of M5 or more in Florida.

USGS ComCat, M5+ from 1900 to 2015, each epicentre counted for the state whose nearest county it is. Epicentres of early earthquakes are estimates. This is the record, not a forecast.
