Dawson said there needs to be more outreach about how seriously to take the messaging, because people are beginning to train themselves to ignore the alerts.

The United States Geological Survey reported that the earthquake struck early Tuesday evening local time at a depth of about 237 km, which is significant as shallower earthquakes are felt more strongly at the surface.

The 2.3-magnitude earthquake struck in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. at around 10:15 a.m., the United States Geological Survey said. It struck about 4.5 miles below ground. Sleepy Hollow is located roughly 25 miles north of New York City.

A magnitude 3.5 earthquake was reported at 9:40 p.m. Sunday 13 miles from Rancho Palos Verdes, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake occurred 13 miles from Los Angeles, 14 miles from Palos Verdes Estates, 14 miles from Rolling Hills Estates and 14 miles from Avalon on Catalina Island.

Thousands of Californians received earthquake warnings on Thursday after a 4.7-magnitude tremor shook Northern California. The US Geological Survey (USGS) issued a ShakeAlert after the quake struck at 4:49am PT (7:49am ET), about 70 miles offshore of Petrolia. ShakeAlert messages are triggered when seismic sensors detect a quake of magnitude 4.5 or higher expected to cause significant shaking. The epicenter was located 190 miles west of Chico, a city of about 121,000 residents, and 65 miles west-southwest of Fortuna, which has roughly 12,000 residents.

The flurry of quakes rattled close to a relatively unknown fault called Blue Cut, according to Kate Scharer, a research geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Hazards Program in Pasadena. "This happened in Joshua Tree National Park, a beautiful part of the world where many people have actually probably been and unknowingly traversed near this fault," Scharer told SFGATE. "This is a good reminder that there are many other faults besides the San Andreas in California that can give us a little jolt."

A village in Lancashire has been hit by a radiator rattling earthquake for the second time in little over two weeks. Residents of Silverdale, a small coastal village located five miles south of the Cumbria border, reported the now strangely familiar feeling of rattling and shaking in their homes at 5.03am as a 2.5-magnitude earthquake hit the area with its epicentre 1.6 miles (2.6km) off the coast.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.
