Depth: median 7.3 km, deepest 22.6 km. Median magnitude 1.81. Average per week over 30 days: 5.8. Tsunami flag set on 0 events (the USGS flag marks events in oceanic regions; it is not a tsunami warning, see tsunami.gov).

How the figures are counted: Events counted: USGS catalog type “earthquake”, magnitude 1.5 or higher, origin time in the 30 days before the data were pulled, location label ending in the state name or its postal abbreviation. Weeks are 7 × 24 hours counted back from the pull time.

Worked example: 25 events in 30 days × 7 ÷ 30 = 5.8 per week on average; the last 7 days had 5.

Small events are detected less completely in some areas, and magnitudes are often revised.
