Largest earthquakes near Yuma in the past year

The strongest earthquake within 150 km of Yuma in the past 12 months was M4.7 on May 10, 2026, 92 km WNW of the city (3 km WSW of Brawley, CA).

With 125 M2.5+ earthquakes in a year (about 10.4 a month), the area around Yuma is very active by global standards. 1 of the ten largest reached M4.5, the level at which damage near the epicentre becomes possible.

Was it felt in Yuma?

The largest nearby quake this month, M2.7 at 83 km, was probably too small or too distant to notice in Yuma by a rough rule of thumb (an M3 is typically noticed within a few tens of km, an M5 up to a few hundred km; local ground and building type matter a lot).

None of the quakes listed has "Did You Feel It?" reports in the USGS feed, which usually means shaking at the surface was weak or the area has few reporters.

If you felt shaking, you can report it to USGS; reports refine the intensity map within minutes.

Tsunami warning status

1 earthquake near Yuma in the past year carried the USGS tsunami flag: M4.2 6 km NW of Delta, B.C., MX (Feb 11, 2026). The flag means the quake was large enough and in an oceanic region where tsunami warning centres issue messages; it does not mean a tsunami happened.

Official tsunami warnings come from the NOAA tsunami warning centres (tsunami.gov) and national agencies; follow local authorities if you are on a coast after strong shaking.

USGS lists every magnitude in the United States but outside it coverage is complete only from about M4–4.5, so smaller local quakes reported by national agencies may be missing. Magnitudes and locations are revised for hours after an event.
