**Earthquake Shakes the East Coast** On August 23, 2011, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck Virginia, sending tremors along the East Coast. Millions of people from New York to Georgia felt the shaking, which lasted for about five days. In New York City, the earthquake caused widespread panic and evacuations. People scrambled to get out of buildings, and subway and train services were disrupted. The shaking also damaged some buildings and bridges. The earthquake was centered in Mineral, Virginia, about 90 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. It was the largest earthquake to hit the East Coast in decades, and it caused significant damage in the affected areas. Residents of the affected areas are still recovering from the earthquake. Many people are without water, electricity, or gas. The shaking also caused significant damage to roads and bridges, making it difficult for people to get around. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has deployed teams to the affected areas to help with the recovery effort. FEMA is providing food, water, and shelter to those who need it, and is also helping to repair damaged infrastructure.
**Recent Earthquake Activity in New York** The latest earthquake to hit Long Island occurred on January 2, 2024, with a magnitude of 3.8. The epicenter was located 0.6 miles northeast of Astoria, New York. Prior to this, a 3.8-magnitude earthquake shook the area east of Buffalo in West Seneca on October 27, 2001. This event was particularly noteworthy as it occurred just over a month after the 9/11 attacks. In addition to these significant earthquakes, a series of smaller tremors have been recorded in New York in recent years. For example, a 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck near Dover, Delaware, in November 2023, which was felt on Long Island. These earthquakes are a reminder that New York, while not a major earthquake zone, is still susceptible to seismic activity. Residents should be aware of the potential for future earthquakes and take appropriate precautions. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) recommends having an emergency plan in place and securing heavy objects in your home.
