Compared with 10,425 earthquakes
Worldwide reports stored here with a known magnitude, Aug 10, 2026–Sep 8, 2026. 259 were this magnitude or larger, including ties. Small earthquakes are detected more completely in some regions; this rank describes our catalog, not the odds of an earthquake.

What the fault lines tell you
Golden lines show mapped U.S. Quaternary fault traces: surface evidence of movement within roughly the past 2.6 million years. Turn the layer on and zoom to explore how those traces sit near the epicenter.
A nearby line does not identify which fault produced this event. Some faults are buried or unmapped, and this layer covers the United States.

Distance & response timeline
Shaking by distance
Each dot is one reporting area. Select a dot to find it on the map.
Distance from the earthquake source includes depth. The distance scale is logarithmic; the intensity scale is linear.
Responses over time
The timeline counts responses received. The map shows the latest geographic summaries; USGS does not publish individual response locations linked to these times.
Reporting areas
Coverage, sources & downloads
These are public USGS geographic aggregates, not individual questionnaires. Community intensity describes the combined responses for an area; it does not measure shaking at every building. Small groups and USGS-flagged areas deserve extra care. ShakeMap estimates and community reports are separate products.

This page preserves the last USGS information collected by Forecast Bar. Magnitude, depth, location and felt reports may be revised.
The daily feed is normally checked every two minutes. A separate background check collects older revisions and withdrawals every ten minutes, with catch-up time after interruptions. Use USGS for the latest source information.
