<p>shiny,
You are too young to have experienced these, but New York has had earthquakes recorded.</p>
<p>Fairly strong earthquakes hit the state of New York in 1844, 1857, 1877, 1925 and 1944 of 5.8. In 1966 a strong earthquake was felt from Canada to Maryland.</p>
<p>It is difficult to find a place that does not have quakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, severe blizzards or ice storms.</p>
