CALIFQUAKE
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A small earthquake rumbled through western New York Monday, jolting people awake but apparently causing no significant damage. The U.S. Geological Survey preliminarily reported a magnitude 3.8 earthquake was centered east of Buffalo in the suburb of West Seneca at about 6:15 a.m. The strong shaking lasted a few seconds, sending residents unaccustomed to earthquakes to social media in search of an explanation. Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said in a tweet that the quake was felt in at least a 30-mile radius, including in Niagara Falls, about 20 miles north of Buffalo.
