Early earthquake figures are revised as more seismic stations report — magnitude, depth and even location can shift in the first hours. This page re-reads the USGS record every few minutes so it tracks the current published figures. Data: U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). WorldEye is a window onto that data, not an alert system — for safety guidance during an event, follow your local geological agency and emergency services.
