EARTHQUAKES • OFFICIAL USGS DATA
Know what shook—and whether it matters in Pacific Grove.
MyPG.news checks the official USGS catalog every two minutes. All regional detections remain in the 30-day chart, while distance-and-magnitude gates keep small distant events from being presented as Pacific Grove news. Qualifying reports stay on the live feed for 24 hours, then move to the archive. A cluster is monitoring context, never a prediction.
LATEST LOCALLY RELEVANT OFFICIAL REPORT
Checking the official USGS catalog…
Smaller or more distant earthquakes remain visible in the 30-day activity chart without being presented as events likely to matter in Pacific Grove.

MYPG EARTHQUAKE RULES
Distance and magnitude decide prominence—not the existence of a USGS record.
All official detections within about 350 miles remain in the 30-day chart. M2.0+ events can retain a technical, source-linked report, but MyPG automatically features only: M2.0+ within 25 miles, M3.0+ within 50 miles, M4.0+ within 100 miles, M5.5+ within 200 miles, or M7.0+ from 200 to 350 miles. A smaller or more distant event can be promoted only when a location-specific felt response, local agency notice or independently verified Pacific Grove effect establishes relevance. These are conservative editorial gates—not scientific guarantees about who felt an earthquake.

Pacific Grove seismic activity in 3D
Each sphere is one cataloged earthquake. Time runs from the oldest date to today, distance runs outward from Pacific Grove, and height shows magnitude. Drag the field to rotate it, or tap a sphere for its official details.

Did You Feel It?
If you felt shaking, a short USGS report helps scientists map intensity. A felt report is useful even when there is no damage.
