About this earthquake

A magnitude M5.4 earthquake was recorded near off the coast of Oregon on October 29, 2025 at 14:00 UTC. With a focal depth of about 10 km, this was a shallow earthquake, whose shaking is usually felt more strongly at the surface. Earthquakes of this magnitude can damage poorly built structures.

The data is provided by USGS and cross-checked across seismological networks.

Why depth matters

Shallow quakes release energy near the surface — shaking is felt more strongly and damage potential is higher.

Official USGS aftershock forecast

Probability of at least one aftershock at or above the specified magnitude during the entire stated time window. This does not predict an individual earthquake.
