**Buffalo Shaken by 3.8-Magnitude Earthquake** Buffalo, New York, was struck by a 3.8-magnitude earthquake on April 5th, 2024, at approximately 10:20 a.m. local time. The quake was the strongest to hit the northeastern United States in decades. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake was centered near West Seneca, New York, about 10 miles south of Buffalo.
