Was there an earthquake just now?
The lists above read the U.S. Geological Survey's live feed every minute or so. Most US quakes appear within a few minutes of happening; small or remote ones can take longer, and first magnitudes are often revised. If you felt something that isn't listed, give it a few minutes, then tell the USGS what you felt.
Where was the last big earthquake in California?
In the last 30 days, the strongest in California was M5.0, 111 km W of Petrolia, CA, on Nov 4. The largest in the state in the last 25 years was the M7.1 near Ridgecrest in July 2019. See earthquakes in California for the full list.
What magnitude earthquake can you feel?
People close to the epicentre often feel quakes from about magnitude 2.5 to 3, especially indoors on upper floors. Below that, most go unnoticed. How strong it feels depends on distance, depth and the ground under you, so a shallow M3 nearby can feel stronger than a deep M4 farther away.
