Here is a more local earthquake map for the east-central US. I work with the Kentucky geological survey to gather and catalogue a lot of this data.

The interesting thing for me is that a lot of our really sensitive seismic stations pick up things like trees falling, trains, and even garage doors closing

Sorting through those thousands of events for earthquakes can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Madness - a British ska band - produced an earthquake on 8th August 1992 at London’s Finsbury Park.

When they performed their best-loved hit One Step Beyond, the audience's dancing caused seismometers at the University of London to suggest that an earthquake was occurring!
