Earthquake Registers In Larchmont

LARCHMONT, NY — A small earthquake occurred Monday evening in Westchester County. The quake was recorded at 8:09 p.m. just west of Interstate 95 at the intersection of Rockland Avenue and Hickory Grove Drive East.

The magnitude was just 1.1 on the Richter Scale, so you might not have felt it. The depth was nearly 2.5 miles.

The little quake, the same size as the one that hit Rockland County Oct. 24, was picked up by the Lamont Cooperative Seismic Network. The Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory has stations all over the metro area.

Here's where the network pinpointed it, the U.S. Geological Survey reported:

• 1.4 miles north-northwest of Larchmont, New York
• 1.6 miles west of Mamaroneck, New York
• 1.9 miles east of Wykagyl, New York
• 2.5 miles east-southeast of Eastchester, New York
• 71.9 miles northeast of Trenton, New Jersey

Did you feel it? If so, report it to the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, which is headquartered in Palisades.

Small earthquakes hit the Hudson Valley occasionally.
