Why the ground moves in Minnesota

Minnesota is among the quietest states seismically, built on some of the oldest, most stable rock in North America. Earthquakes are rare and small; when one is felt it's notable precisely because the ground here moves so seldom.

This page tracks live USGS seismic activity across Minnesota — 5 cities including Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester. The map and list above update continuously; open any city for a closer view with its own recent-quake and felt-radius detail.
