A 3.6 magnitude earthquake shook parts of upstate New York on Sunday afternoon. There were no immediate reports of serious damage.
The US Geological Survey reported that the earthquake struck at 2:10 pm with an epicenter about 10 miles (16 km) south of Watertown, near Adams Center.
People reported feeling a weak to moderate earthquake across an area stretching more than a hundred miles, including in neighboring Ontario, Canada and in Syracuse to the south, according to the federal agency. Posts on WWNY-TV’s Facebook page described their buildings shaking close to the epicenter.
Serious damage and casualties do not usually occur until earthquake magnitudes are around 5.5 or higher.
