Earthquake alerts for Ogden, UT
Get a notification in this browser when USGS records an earthquake near Ogden, UT. No account or email needed.
Alerts are on for .
Not a warning. An alert comes after USGS publishes a quake, usually minutes after the shaking. For early warning use ShakeAlert, through your phone's Wireless Emergency Alerts or the MyShake app.
This was a small earthquake. Shaking like this is often felt indoors nearby and very rarely causes damage.
At this magnitude and depth, people at rest would likely notice it out to about 59 km (37 mi) from the epicentre. In Ogden, 26 km away, the estimate is intensity II (weak). Estimated from magnitude, depth and distance with the intensity equation USGS Did You Feel It? uses; felt reports, where there are any, are the measurement.
Likely felt in: Ogden 26 km, intensity II · North Ogden 28 km, intensity II · Bountiful 38 km, intensity II · Brigham City 46 km, intensity II · Summit Park 50 km, intensity II. Estimated for each town centre; each link is that town's own record.
How big was it?
This earthquake released about 2 tons of TNT. Magnitude is logarithmic: each whole step up releases about 32 times more energy, so a magnitude 4.4 would have released about 32 times as much.
- Northridge, California 1994 M 6.7 83,000× the energy of this one
- Mineral, Virginia 2011 M 5.8 3,700× the energy of this one
- Magna, Utah 2020 M 5.7 2,600× the energy of this one
- This earthquake M 3.4 about 2 tons of TNT
- Around the size people start to feel M 3.0 this one released 4.3× more
Energy from the Gutenberg–Richter relation (log10E = 1.5M + 4.8), rounded to two figures; bar length is magnitude, which is already a logarithm of energy. Magnitudes of past earthquakes from the USGS catalogue.
For this area
No earthquake of M4 or more has been recorded within 50 km since our catalogue begins in 2016.
Before 2016, the USGS record lists one earthquake of M5 or more within 50 km:
- 5.5 26 km E of Avon, Utah · 37 km NNE of this epicentre
Since 2016: the QuakeIndex catalogue (US, M1.5+), built from the USGS FDSN event service. Before 2016: USGS ComCat, M5+ from 1900. Distances are between epicentres. This is the record, not a forecast.
