Earthquakes in the U.S. Virgin Islands — November 2026

1 earthquakes were recorded in the U.S. Virgin Islands during November 2026, an average of 0.0 per day.

0 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 3 km.

The month's largest event in the U.S. Virgin Islands was a magnitude 2.7 earthquake near Cruz Bay, U.S. Virgin Islands on 01 November 2026 at 04:26 UTC. A magnitude 2.7 earthquake radiates roughly 147 kg of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is below the the U.S. Virgin Islands monthly average of 37 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 34 recorded the previous month.

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 2 range.

That is 97% below the 37 events the U.S. Virgin Islands averages per month across the 24 months on record.
