    A 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck California on Wednesday (May 1), according to the United States Geological Survey .

    The natural disaster was reported to be centered in Corona with a 4.1 kilometer (about 2.55 miles) depth. The USGS said it received 7.926 responses of residents having felt the earthquake at the time of publication Wednesday evening.

    The latest California earthquake comes weeks after a 4.3-magnitude earthquake struck the state on April 18, according to the United States Geological Survey . The natural disaster was reported to be centered in Bodfish with a 3.2 kilometer (about two miles) depth.

    Wednesday's earthquake also comes days after multiple earthquakes were reported in Asia on April 27.

    A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia hours after a 6.5-magnitude earthquake struck a Japanese island region. The Indonesia earthquake was reported to be centered in Banjar with a 68.3 kilometer (about 42.44 miles) depth, while the Bonin Islands earthquake was reported to have a 503.2 kilometer (about 312.67 miles) depth.

    Both earthquakes reported days after a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan on April 22, according to the United States Geological Survey . The natural disaster was reported to be centered in Hualien City with a 10.0 kilometer (about 6.21 miles) depth.

    Last month, a 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck the Northeast region of the United States, according to the United States Geological Survey . The natural disaster was reported to be centered in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, with a 1.0 kilometer (0.62 miles) depth on April 5.

    Several other residents in the Northeast shared posts claiming to have felt what they presumed was an earthquake prior to the USGS' confirmation as "#earthquake," "Did NYC," "Did New York," and "central NJ," were all trending on X at the time.
