**3.8 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Buffalo, New York** **Buffalo, New York (February 28, 2023)** - A 3.8 magnitude earthquake shook the Buffalo, New York, area Monday morning, the strongest tremor to hit the region in 40 years. The quake struck at 12:42 a.m. ET, approximately 124 miles east-northeast of West Seneca, New York. It was felt as far away as Toronto, Canada. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), this is the second earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0 or above to strike within 186 miles of Buffalo in the past decade. The previous earthquake occurred in February 2023 and had a magnitude of 3.8. While earthquakes are relatively rare in the northeastern United States, the Buffalo area has experienced several tremors in recent years. In 2008, a 4.2 magnitude earthquake shook the region, and in 2012, a 4.1 magnitude temblor caused damage to some buildings in the area. The USGS notes that it is not uncommon for earthquakes to occur in the Buffalo area due to its location on the western edge of the Appalachian Mountains. The region is home to a series of faults that can produce earthquakes. The earthquake on Monday morning caused no reported injuries or damage. However, it did startle many residents who are not used to experiencing earthquakes. "It was like a big boom, and my whole house shook," said one Buffalo resident. "It felt like something exploded." The USGS recommends that residents of earthquake-prone areas be prepared for the possibility of a tremor. Measures include having a plan in place, keeping a supply of water and food on hand, and knowing where to go for shelter if needed.
