The depth of the quake was 3.4 miles, according to the USGS.
Melody Pike, who lives in the town of Massena, felt the earthquake.
“At first I just heard the rumble which I could have thought was the train but it wasn’t because I wasn’t hearing the horn with the train and the house shook and the windows. It was the windows shook. I knew it was an earthquake because the windows don’t shake with the train,” she said.
So far there are no reports of any actual damage, but a number of people reported their experiences with the temblor on social media.
According to the USGS, some people as far away as Watertown reported feeling the quake.
