phil_soisson Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Interesting! I wonder if it was somehow in conjunction with the 7.8 magnitude quake that struck Turkey/Syria overnight? I know they are different tectonic plates thousands of miles apart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if it wasn't... Most people don't realize it but Buffalo lies on a major fault line and has earthquakes pretty regularly. They are just so small and of magnitudes under 3.0 so they are rarely felt. This one woke me up as it was centered not far from me and it sounded like thunder inside my room and my alarm clock fell off the dresser. Last one I remember feeling was about 35 years ago when it lasted for a minute or so and the dining room chandelier shook back and forth.

That Aud Smell Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Evidently, a lot of people here remember a 2010 earthquake that was centred near Ottawa. That was a 5.0 and made buildings in WNY sway. I don’t recall it. Coincidentally, that quake occurred on the exact same day as Landon Donovan’s famous goal against … Algiers? … to send the USMNT through to the knockouts in the 2010 Mens World Cup.

bob_sauve28 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 About ten or so years ago I was in a building and on the computer with a person in Albany and the building shook here in Jamestown. Not a nice feeling with a building of concrete and steel swaying. So the person in Albany goes, "Wooh, did you feel that???" I was like, yes, yes I did. It went all across the state.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went all across the state.   Summertime, right?  I remember that one too.  I was on the deck of the Italian Fisherman on Bemus Pt enjoying a mojito when that one hit.  The whole deck swayed for about 5-10 seconds. I remember the “earthquake “ when the Retsof salt mine collapsed in the late 90s.  We are generally east of this epicenter.  I’m really surprised we didn’t feel it at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
