I lived in NY for most of my life, they don't get very many quakes.
Halloween night rumbling in western New York was earthquake
quote:
hat rumbling felt in a section of western New York on Halloween night was no trick. It was an earthquake.
Dozens of residents of towns just east of Rochester reported feeling their homes shake at around seven o'clock Monday night.
The U-S Geological Survey confirms that a micro earthquake measuring two-point-six occurred in the Wayne County town of Ontario.
Experts say the earthquake's shallow depth --about a mile and half beneath the ground -- limited the area affected.
The last earthquake in the state was May 31st in northern New York. That one registered two-point-five on the Richter.
