Frequently asked questions
- How often does Oregon have earthquakes?

- What was the largest recent earthquake in Oregon?
- The largest earthquake in Oregon in the last 5 years was a magnitude 6.0 near 267 km W of Bandon, Oregon.
- When was the last major earthquake in Oregon?
- The most recent earthquake of magnitude 5.0 or greater in Oregon was a magnitude 5.5 near 226 km W of Langlois, Oregon.
- What magnitude earthquake can you feel?
- Most people begin to feel earthquakes around magnitude 3.0, though it depends on depth and distance. Shallow quakes close by feel stronger than deep or distant ones of the same size.
About earthquakes in Oregon
Most earthquakes are too small to feel. The USGS reports millions of quakes a year worldwide, and the vast majority are below magnitude 2.5. A page showing no recent activity usually means no notable quakes, not that nothing is being measured.
Magnitude is a measure of the energy released at the source; shaking you actually feel also depends on depth and how far you are from the epicenter. A shallow magnitude 4 nearby can feel stronger than a deep magnitude 5 far away.
