There has been 212 earthquakes in the last 7 days, worldwide. Not including these ones.

The USGS will send you notice of earthquakes by email if you ask them to. I had to reset the parameters so they only notify me of quakes that are stronger than 5.0 - just too many quakes everyday but most are little things.
