This report provides a brief summary of earthquake activity recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey Northern California Seismic Network in Menlo Park and the University of California Berkeley Seismological Laboratory. It is automatically generated each Wednesday shortly after midnight, Universal time (UT). UT (ie., Greenwich Mean Time) is 8 hours ahead of PST or 7 hours ahead of PDT.
Because it is not possible to review all of the earthquakes before this report is generated, it may contain errors. Please report errors or provide suggestions and comments to ncsn@usgs.gov
The report no longer includes maps showing earthquakes for the entire US or world. Those maps are now available from the U.S.G.S. National Earthquake Information Center. In addition, all earthquake data can be retrieved from the Northern California Earthquake Data Center.
Please note that some of the earthquake data in this report have been reviewed by seismic analysts. Consequently, the parameters that describe the hypocenter, magnitude, origin time, and solution statistics may differ slightly from the information contained on the real-time earthquake web page. The differences reflect revised arrival times at seismic stations and the analysts' decisions to include or exclude information from seismic stations.
The minimum magnitude ( M) values in the following bullets reflect the smallest earthquake which the network can routinely record within the region. During the previous seven-day period ending at midnight (UT) Wednesday, our seismic networks recorded
