Earthquake happen regularly. It is not possible to say where and when they most recent was unless a date is specified.
Here are some;
A recent earthquake was in Haiti at a 7.2 and then another earthquake struck Chile at an 8.8 right after Haiti's earthquake. All in 2010
There are earthquake in Ca all the time everyday.
The most recent earthquakes, on Wednesday, November 4, 2009, occurred in California. Specifically, six were recorded in Southern California. Another two were recorded in the nearby Baja California, Mexico. Still another one was recorded in central California. Yet another two were recorded in northern California.
Going up the western coast of the United States of America, another earthquake was recorded off the coast of Oregon. Two more were recorded in Alaska, in the south and on the Alaskan peninsula.
Going westwards from the California coast, and across the Pacific Ocean, an earthquake was recorded in the Samoan Islands. Another was recorded in Mindanao, Philippines. Still another was recorded in northern Qinghai, China.
Returning to the Americas, an earthquake was reported on the Pacific side of South America, at Antofagasta, Chile. Within the Caribbean that separates coastal North and South Americas, an earthquake was reported in the area of the Dominican Republic. Another two were reported in the area of Puerto Rico. Leaving the Caribbean and heading eastwards across the Atlantic, an earthquake was reported in the Azores Islands.
The last major earthquake in California was May 23, 2013. It occured approximately 20:47 (military hours) near Greenville and had a magnitude of 5.7. Luckily there were no casualties as a result of this earthquake.
In terms of magnitude the largest earthquake ever recorded in California was the the Fort Tejon earthquake of 1857 at 7.9 on the scale. Two people were killed. The 1906 San Franciso earthquake was slightly less powerful at 7.8 magnitude but it was far more devastating killing over 3000 people.
The largest earthquake in California history was on January 9, 1857. It was a magnitude 7.9
The most recent earthquake to happen in California was on July, 15th 2013 in Julian, CA. This earthquake was estimated to be a 1.3 and was about 16 kilometers in depth.

The largest recorded earthquake in California was the Fort Tejon Earthquake of 1857. It was on the San Andreas fault line and estimated at 8.0 on the Richter scale. The most destructive earthquake in California history however, was the San Francisco of 1906. It was also on the San Andreas fault line, registered 7.9 on the Richter scale, caused massive destruction to the city and over 3,000 people were killed as a result.
The largest earthquake recorded in Illinois was a magnitude 5.4 on November 9, 1968.
The largest in recorded history was a 9.5 earthquake in Chile.
The largest earthquake in the history of Michigan was a 4.6 magnitude earthquake on August 10, 1947.
The largest earthquakes ever was the Valdivia earthquake in Chile in 1960 with a magnitude of 9.5. The second largest was the Alaska earthquake in 1964 with a magnitude of 9.2.

The largest earthquake fault is San Andreas fault.
Actually, the largest recorded earthquake goes to Chile in 1960 with a 9.5 magnitude earthquake.
The Great Chilean Earthquake
No. First, it is impossible to predict when an earthquake will occur. Second, none of the faults in southern California are capable of generating an earthquake anywhere near that intensity. Scientists estimate that the largest earthquake the San Andreas Fault can generate is in the neighborhood of an 8.3.
The largest earthquake in the world was the 1960 Voldivic earthquake. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded. It rated 9.5 on the magnitude scale. It occurred in the afternoon.
The largest earthquake recorded in Illinois was a magnitude 5.4 on November 9, 1968.
The largest earthquake recorded by man was the magnitude 9.5 Valdivia earthquake in Chile which occurred on the 22nd of May, 1960.
