Visitor Spikes (past 24 hours)

When an earthquake hits, many people start searching for information immediately. This leads to increased visitors looking for information about earthquakes in affected regions. By detecting these visits we are often able to predict that an earthquake occurred before any official data is available.

Visitor spikes of the past 24 hours are listed below. They may indicate that an earthquake occurred in the region today, but can also be caused by other reasons, like a link to our site being shared with a large audience.
