Earthquakes in Anguilla
No events have been recorded in Anguilla in the past 30 days, of which 14 reached magnitude 4 or above, the point at which shaking becomes widely noticeable. Activity here is almost entirely crustal, which means shaking at the surface is strong relative to the magnitudes involved.
47 earthquakes have been recorded in Anguilla in our catalogue, 0 of them in the past 30 days.
The average magnitude is 3.9 and the average focal depth 33 km. 14 events reached magnitude 4 or above and 3 reached magnitude 5 or above.
The strongest earthquake recorded in Anguilla in this period was a magnitude 5.2 event near The Valley, Anguilla on 19 March 2026, at a depth of 10 km. A magnitude 5.2 earthquake radiates roughly 951 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
Locations recording the most events include The Valley (36), Sandy Ground Village (10), Blowing Point Village (1).
94% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 6% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.
The deepest event on record here was a magnitude 4.0 earthquake at 104 km beneath Sandy Ground Village, Anguilla on 22 March 2026.
By band, the catalogue holds 33 in the magnitude 3 range, 11 in the magnitude 4 range, 3 in the magnitude 5 range.
The busiest single day was 31 March 2026, with 15 recorded events.
No event in this record carries a USGS link to NOAA tsunami information.
