A small earthquake rumbled through Buffalo and western New York Monday morning, alarming people in a region unaccustomed to such shaking but apparently causing no significant damage.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey a 3.8-magnitude earthquake centered east of Buffalo in the suburb of West Seneca at 6:15 a.m. The earthquake occurred nearly 2 miles below the surface. Seismologist Yaareb Altaweel said it was the region's strongest quake in at least 40 years.
The shaking lasted several seconds and sent residents first to their windows and then to social media in search of an explanation.
“It felt like a car hit my house in Buffalo. I jumped out of bed,” Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz tweeted. Erie County emergency services officials confirmed the earthquake was felt in at least a 30-mile radius, including in Niagara Falls, about 20 miles north of Buffalo, he said.
Earthquake Canada, which measured a 4.2 magnitude event, reported it was felt slightly in southern Ontario.
The earthquake comes on the heels of two record-breaking weather events in the Buffalo region: A snowstorm that dropped as much as 7 feet of snow in November and a blizzard in December that is blamed for 47 deaths.
Earthquakes in upstate New York, Rochester region
Earthquakes in New York State are not uncommon
The state's largest earthquake was reported on Sept. 5, 1944, with an epicenter near Massena, St. Lawrence County. The 5.8-magnitude earthquake was felt from Canada to Maryland and Indiana to Maine. It did $2 million in damage in Massena and Cornwall, Canada.
It also shook homes in the Rochester area, and some residents who called authorities, but caused no significant damage here.
A magnitude-5.1 quake centered 45 miles northwest of Ottawa, Canada, caused a rumble in Rochester May 17, 2003.
Among some more recent minor earthquakes in western New York, a 1.2-magnitude temblor shook Le Roy, Genesee County, in August 2022, a 2.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Warsaw, Wyoming County, in March 2022 and a 2.4-magnitude temblor struck the hamlet of Tuscarora in southwestern Livingston County in May 2021.

3.8 magnitude earthquake rattles Buffalo, New York, suburbs
"It felt like a car hit my house in Buffalo," a local official said.
A 3.8 magnitude earthquake struck the suburbs of Buffalo, New York, early Monday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The center of the quake was near West Seneca, officials said. Shaking was felt as far north as Niagara Falls and as far sound as south to Orchard Park, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said on Twitter.
"It felt like a car hit my house in Buffalo. I jumped out of bed," he said.
The quake struck about 2 km east-northeast of West Seneca at 6:15 a.m., according to preliminary date from USGS officials.
There were no immediate reports of damage, Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
"My team is in touch with local officials and we will provide any support needed," she said.

Earthquake strikes near Buffalo: ‘It felt like a car hit my house’
Syracuse, N.Y. -- A 3.8-magnitude earthquake hit near Buffalo at 6:15 a.m. today, rattling houses and waking up Western New Yorkers.
“It felt like a car hit my house in Buffalo,” tweeted Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz. “I jumped out of bed.”
Poloncarz said there had been no reports of damage.
The quake was centered about 4 miles east of Buffalo, and happened about 2 miles underground, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The USGS has received more than 2,500 reports from people who say they felt the quake, including Niagara Falls, Rochester and southern Ontario.
Western New Yorkers wrote on social media that they at first thought the earthquake was a truck hitting their house, a water tank exploding, or a sonic boom.
“Omg, I’m shaking in Cheektowaga!!!,” one woman wrote.
And, this being Buffalo, many immediately made a connection to snow.
“Thought it was snow falling from the roof,” one Twitter user wrote.
“You know you are from Buffalo when an earthquake wakes you up and your first thought is ‘was that a snow plow?,’” tweeted Kevin O’Neill.
The USGS said the region gets “moderately frequent earthquakes,” most weak enough that they don’t cause damage.
A 3.8-magnitude earthquake is relatively weak and is not expected to cause much damage, Earthquakes Canada said.
The scale used to measure earthquakes is logarithmic, so each number is 10 times more severe. A 5-magnitude quake is 10 times stronger than a 4, for example.
