100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% 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.
By band, the catalogue holds 1 in the magnitude 3 range, 1 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.5 near The Valley, Anguilla on 27 May at 10 km; M3.9 near The Valley, Anguilla on 28 May at 34 km.
