📍 Did it shake near you?
See the closest recent earthquakes to where you are right now — and how far away they were.
Your location is used only inside your browser to find what is near you — it is never sent to us or stored. Times are shown in your own timezone.
The map starts on the whole US. Once you use your location or search for your town, it zooms in and marks you and the earthquakes closest to you.
How it works
- Tap Use my location and allow the browser prompt, or type your town name — both work.
- We compare your spot with every earthquake of magnitude 2.5 or more recorded in the US in the last 30 days (USGS), and with the 6,124 places this site covers.
- You get the closest earthquake, how far away it was, how many happened within 100 km of you — and a link to your town's own page, with its full history back to 1980.
Your privacy, plainly
Your location is used only inside your browser, on this page, to do the distance math. It is never sent to us, never stored, and there is nothing to sign up for. If you would rather not share it, the town search does the same job.
Felt something but nothing shows?
Small earthquakes under magnitude 2.5 — and sounds that are not earthquakes at all, like quarry blasts or thunder — may not appear here right away. USGS sometimes takes a few minutes to publish a new event, and this page refreshes every hour. Your town's page also lists smaller events near it, down to about magnitude 1.5.
