2024-03-16 15:25:57

United States Geological Survey (USGS) issues daily alerts on telluric movements felt throughout the North American country; mainly, in states such as California, Alaska, Hawaii, Texas; and other areas where seismic activities usually occur daily. Along these lines, I share with you the report updated in real time today, March 16, with data such as the epicenter, magnitude, exact time and the areas that were affected by the earthquake that was recorded during the last hours, corroborated with the Latest Earthquakes interactive map and SkyAlert warning system.

It is worth saying that according to data collected from the USGS website, almost 75% of the continental US, as well as Alaska and Hawaii, might suffer a damaging earthquake at some point in the next century. This means that its millions of inhabitants are at risk of suffering damage from catastrophic earthquakes, even in areas that are not traditionally considered prone to events of this nature.
