Type in “earthquake California” and you’ll get a listing of activity in the area.  Here’s a snapshot (which also includes my Twitter add-on results):

Here are some other cool Google search functions, while I’m at it.

  • Time: “time Japan” will show you the time in Japan.
  • Conversion: “50km in miles” will convert kilometers to miles.

Check out more search functions on Google’s Search Features page.
