The largest earthquake ever recorded in New Zealand was the Wairarapa earthquake in 1855, with an estimated magnitude of 8.2. It caused significant damage in the southern North Island and the northern South Island.
I heard while back that the state of Florida is the least likely to have an earthquake. But Hurricanes...that's another story.
The largest earthquake ever recorded was the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, which had a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale. This earthquake caused widespread devastation and had a significant impact on the region.
The largest earthquake ever recorded in the lower 48 states was the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.2.
The highest earthquake reading ever recorded was a magnitude 9.5 earthquake that struck Chile on May 22, 1960. This earthquake, known as the Great Chilean Earthquake, caused widespread damage and triggered a deadly tsunami that affected coastal areas across the Pacific Ocean.
Florida is not located near a tectonic plate boundary, which is where most earthquakes occur. While Florida can experience small, mostly unfelt earthquakes called "microearthquakes," a large, damaging earthquake is highly unlikely due to its location in the middle of the North American Plate.
No, the Haiti earthquake in 2010 was not the strongest earthquake ever recorded. The strongest earthquake ever recorded was the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, which had a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale.
Florida
The earthquake "Shaanxi" in China in January 1956 is considered as the deadliest earthquake ever, with 820,000-830,000 fatalities.
There will never ever be an earthquake there.
Yes, Florida does experience earthquakes, but they are rare and usually minor in magnitude. The last significant earthquake to occur in Florida was in 2006, with a magnitude of 6.0 near the Gulf of Mexico.
No
no
The magnitude 9.0 Japan earthquake in 2011 was not felt in Florida but the waves from the tsunami did reach the coast of Hawaii.You can visit the USGS Did-you-feel-it web site to check if people reported an earthquake in your area.

According to the US Geological Survey, each state has some. Florida and North Dakota have fewer than the other states but Florida has more hurricanes. The last earthquake in Florida was in 1952 and the last earthquake in North Dakota was 1968.
i think it was when the earthquake happened last year
