Earthquake of Magnitude 3.8 Hits Buffalo, New York Region
Early Monday, an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.8 rattled the Buffalo, New York area.
The US Geological Survey reported that the quake struck around 6:15 a.m. and was centered approximately one mile north-east of West Seneca at a depth of 1.9 miles.
Fortunately, there have thus far been no reports of any damage or injuries from the quake, as reported by the National Weather Service Buffalo office.
Erie County and the city of Buffalo have recently been through a devastating winter storm, leaving 39 people dead in the area and the city buried under more than 52 inches of snow, prompting the county to issue a “code blue” warning and open three warming shelters to protect against the dangerously cold temperatures.
Now, reports of the area feeling the rumble of an earthquake are coming in from across the region, including from Ontario, Canada.
