We got a call late yesterday afternoon from listener Daisy Kelly in Indian Lake, wondering what we knew about an earthquake that had hit that Hamilton County town earlier in the day.<\/p>\n
Kelly said at about 11:30am, she\u2019d heard a giant rumble that had lasted about eight or nine seconds. \u201cI have a very steep pitched roof\u201d, Kelly said, \u201cit sounded like when snow comes off the roof.\u201d<\/p>\n
The earthquake was the talk of the post office when Kelly went to pick up her mail\u2014she says the postmistress thought something had hit the side of the building.<\/p>\n
So I put in a call this morning to the Weston Observatory at Boston College, which takes readings from many New York seismometers, including Troy and Newcomb. And I was surprised to learn that there was NOT, in fact, an earthquake in or near Indian Lake yesterday.<\/p>\n
So what happened? Justin Starr at the Weston Observatory suggests it may have been a quarry blast.<\/p>\n
If you were in the Indian Lake area yesterday, and you heard something earthquake-like at around 11:30 Tuesday morning\u2014let us know. And if you know of something other than an earthquake that might have caused 8-9 seconds of heavy rumbling, please let us know that, too. The best way to get in touch is to email me, nora@ncpr.org.
