The earth is a movin'
The North Country experienced an earthquake at approximately 1:40 p.m. today.
We here at WNBZ don't have official confirmation from anyone at the USGS as of yet, but we feel pretty confident that an earthquake happened.
We've heard from folks in Champlain, Plattsburgh, Keene Valley, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, Vermontville and everywhere in between. All reported the same thing:
The earth was shaking.
