**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.

**3.8 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Buffalo, New York** **February 6, 2023** A rare earthquake with a magnitude of 3.8 struck near Buffalo, New York, on Monday morning, marking the strongest quake in the area in over 40 years. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the quake occurred east of Buffalo in West Seneca at approximately 6:15 AM. Despite its strength, initial reports indicate that Buffalo and surrounding communities emerged largely unscathed. The earthquake was felt throughout the region, with residents reporting shaking and rattling. No major damage or injuries have been reported. Geologists are still investigating the cause of the earthquake, but it is believed to have been caused by movement along a fault line in the area.

While the earthquake caused some concern, officials have reassured residents that there is no immediate threat of further quakes. The USGS continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates if necessary.
