A magnitude-3.6 earthquake shook up residents in upstate New York on Sunday, officials said.
The small earthquake happened in Jefferson County shortly after 2 p.m., according to the United States Geological Survey. The organization recorded the quake within a mile of Adams Center, a hamlet about 10 miles south of Watertown.
“We felt it here in Fowler (east of Gouverneur),” resident Brenda Maxson commented on a Facebook post by the local news station WWNY. “House rattled, heard vibration/rumble. My Son who lives in Troy NY said he felt a slight rumble even out there (nothing big, just as if a ... truck went by his apartment, which doesn’t happen often).”
