The 2011 earthquake was a 5.8 magnitude on the Richter scale.

Yes but there were no injuries or deaths

Any state can have an earthquake, but California has more than others. Oklahoma has had some recently, and in August of 2011, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake in Virginia was felt for many states around !
