M5.0 quake offshore Western Alberta, BC 2/27/2025 | Live Quake Cam

GlobalQuake app detected a M5.0 quake in Western Alberta, BC | 2/27/2025, 5:37am

NOTE: Sometimes the earthquake magnitude displayed may be different from the one stated in the description. This is due to the software's initial, preliminary estimates that sometimes require additional data not immediately available at the time of the quake.

Live quake cam (earthquakes) from Sacramento, California, U.S.A. (West Coast of the U.S.), using a InFiltec seismometer and an old, laptop. This seismic station (KREEM) should be able to pick up earthquakes at a magnitude of 3.0 (M3.0) or less locally (400km radius from around Sacramento); greater than M3.0 in the central U.S.; greater than M5.0 around/directly outside of the U.S.; greater than M6.0 worldwide.

Not all small earthquakes can be detected, based on a wide variety of factors (some vibrations that do show are background noise due to location - they can't all be filtered out, unfortunately~). When there is a real big shaker though, you'll most likely be able to see it (most likely delayed by seconds, minutes or even at much as 20+ minutes from the time of the quake, as it takes time for the ground waves to reach the station). This station is located approximately 4 feet above ground and the live video feed typically runs on a 48-hour stream cycle (stream is delayed by about 30 seconds).
