In the past week, several earthquakes have rattled parts of the United States, with notable activity in Nebraska, Nevada, Utah, Alaska, and Hawaii. On Sunday, March 1, a 4.1 magnitude quake struck five kilometers east of Cowles in Nebraska at a shallow depth of three kilometers, according to the United States Geological Survey. The Herd Now reports that it prompted 1,851 felt reports from residents, marking the largest tremor in the state this year, amid four quakes in the past 30 days and 26 over the last year in Nebraska.
Nevada saw a surge of mysterious seismic events near a secretive military base, a former nuclear test site. EADaily notes that over the past day ending March 3, the United States Geological Survey recorded 16 quakes exceeding magnitude 2.5 there, with more than 100 in the prior week ranging from 1.0 to over 3.0. On March 3 at 19:58 UTC, a 1.5 magnitude event hit near Enterprise, 18 kilometers east of Goodsprings, at 15 kilometers depth, per EarthquakeTrack and USGS data. VolcanoDiscovery reported a separate 2.4 magnitude quake near Lehi in Utah County, Utah, on recent days.
Alaska experienced stronger shaking, including a 6.4 magnitude offshore event 224 kilometers east-southeast of Attu Station on March 4 at shallow 10 kilometer depth, as listed in Wikipedia's 2026 earthquake records from USGS data. Earlier, on February 23, a 6.1 magnitude struck 93 kilometers southwest of Nikolski. VolcanoDiscovery also logged a moderate 4.2 magnitude quake 53 miles southwest of Hilo, Hawaii, on March 2.
Worldwide, March has seen 524 quakes up to magnitude 6.3, per VolcanoDiscovery, including a 6.3 in the South Pacific on March 1, a 6.2 near Sinabang, Indonesia on March 3, and a 6.0 offshore Japan on March 2. No fatalities are reported globally in 2026 so far, per Wikipedia.
These US events highlight emerging patterns of swarm activity in tectonically quiet areas like the Midwest and Nevada, alongside expected Pacific Rim tremors in Alaska and Hawaii. While most caused no damage, the Nevada cluster raises questions about natural versus induced seismicity near human sites, though USGS attributes them to regional geology. Monitoring continues amid steady global rates, with over 1,100 quakes daily on average.
