Another NY Quake Before the Sixth Seal (Revelation 6:12)

Did you feel it? Small earthquake recorded under Lake Ontario

Viral pandemic. Severe thunderstorms. Earthquake.

Locusts next?

A small earthquake was recorded shortly after 1 p.m. Sunday under Lake Ontario about 40 miles west-northwest of the Charlotte Pier.

Several people in the Syracuse area were the first to report to the U.S. Geological Survey that they felt the small temblor. It occurred not long before a line of severe thunderstorms passed over the same area.

An earthquake of 2.6 magnitude generally can be felt by people nearby but would do little or no damage.
