CORNWALL/APPLE HILL – Chances are you probably didn’t feel it, but the earth did move north of the city Wednesday morning.
The U.S. Geological Survey recorded a magnitude 1.7 earthquake about 22 kilometers northeast of Cornwall at 6:58 a.m. Wednesday.
According to its recording data, the USGS did not receive any reports from the public of the earthquake with an epicenter near Apple Hill.
The last time the region felt a sizable quake was in November 2015 when a quick jolt – a magnitude 3.3 – hit just after midnight in northern New York State.
