The app began providing earthquake alerts in Oregon on March 11, 2021. [50] The QuakeAlertUSA app was decommission on November 6, 2023, so that the company could focus on its commercial earthquake response services. [51] QuakeAlertUSA delivered alerts for earthquakes exceeding M W 4.5 and that produced a shaking intensity greater than
The app uses accelerometers in phones that are stationary and connected to a power supply to record shaking and relay that information back to the laboratory. [39] [40] The system issues automated warnings of earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 or greater. [40] UC Berkeley released a Japanese-language version of the app in May 2016. [41]
It came on the heels of two other earthquakes on June 7 in the same area near the city of Buford — a 2.5 magnitude quake and another of 2.1 magnitude, which shook the area a few hours earlier ...
About 700 earthquakes were recorded earlier in the month, the largest reaching magnitude 3.3.The largest of the earthquakes to date reached magnitude 5.1 on 10 November. By this time, over 22,000 earthquakes had been recorded since the beginning of the swarm in October.

The most recent earthquake means at least 101 have been detected in the Palmetto State since the start of 2022, according to South Carolina DNR. All but 10 of the quakes have been in the Midlands.
These earthquakes are sometimes referred to as crustal earthquakes, and they are capable of causing significant damage due to their relatively shallow depths. A damaging magnitude 7 interplate earthquake occurred on the Seattle Fault around 900–930 CE [ 14 ] that generated 3 meters of uplift and a 4-5 meter tsunami. [ 15 ]
