**Minor Earthquake Rattles Nerves in New York City** On October 19, 1985, New York City residents were jolted by a magnitude 4.0 earthquake centered in Ardsley, New York. The temblor, felt throughout the metropolitan area, was the third strongest to occur within 250 miles of the city in recent history. **Historical Context** According to The New York Times, the most damaging earthquake to affect New York City occurred in 1884, although it is likely not associated with the Ramapo fault. In November 1988, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck eastern Canada, 90 miles north of Quebec City. **Monitoring and Research** The United States Geological Survey's (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program is responsible for monitoring, reporting, and researching earthquakes. According to the USGS, the recent quake was felt in various parts of the Northeast, including Boston and Philadelphia. **Impact** While the earthquake did not cause any significant damage, it rattled nerves and brought awareness to the potential seismic risks in the region. Minor geological events like this serve as reminders of the importance of earthquake preparedness and the ongoing research being conducted to better understand these natural phenomena.
**Earthquakes Shake New York, Buffalo Experiences Strongest Quake in 40 Years** [New York, NY] - Residents of New York City and surrounding areas felt the ground tremble on Monday morning as a magnitude 3.8 earthquake struck near Buffalo. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake occurred at 10:20 a.m. local time and was the strongest recorded in the area in four decades. The epicenter was located approximately 10 miles southwest of Buffalo. The quake was felt as far away as New York City, Albany, and Rochester. In Buffalo, it caused minor damage to buildings and infrastructure. The USGS reports that New York has not experienced any significant earthquakes (magnitude 5 or greater) in the past 24 hours, seven days, or 30 days. However, the Buffalo earthquake serves as a reminder that the area is still susceptible to seismic activity. Geologists are investigating the cause of the earthquake and assessing the potential risks to the region. They are studying precariously perched boulders in the area, which could provide clues to the frequency and severity of future earthquakes. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and follow safety protocols in the event of an earthquake, including dropping to the ground, taking cover under sturdy furniture, and avoiding windows.
