There are earthquakes in the US and around the world every day, but most of those are in rural areas or too small to be felt above ground.

According to the USGS National Earthquake Center there were an estimated 3,836 earthquakes (magnitude 2.5+) in the United States as of 27 November 2012. On average that is ~11 per daysomewhere in the US.

Once every few years there is an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 or greater in the US.
