A Week of Rare Natural Phenomena in Bronxville

By Staff

April 10, 2024: This has been a week of rare natural phenomena in Bronxville, starting on Friday, April 5th with a 4.7 magnitude earthquake at 10:23am and a 4.0 aftershock at 6pm, and then a solar eclipse on April 8th that started around 3:20pm in Bronxville.

According to Governor Hochul, this week's earthquake was the most powerful earthquake felt by the East Coast since at least 2011 and the strongest to hit the East Coast directly in the last century.  The solar eclipse was an even more rare phenomenon.  Governor Hochul said that this is the first solar eclipse over New York State in 99 years.

The Bronxville Green Committee

The Bronxville Green Committee is a volunteer organization under Village government.  We work with the Trustees and Village staff on programs that promote clean energy initiatives and sustainable ways of living. Our programs include The Bronxville Giving Garden, a community garden whose produce is donated to local groups; Take Back Day, when we collect items to be recycled; and Pollinator Pathways, which encourages adding native plants to our gardens. We believe everyone can make a difference by adopting simple, sustainable practices in daily life so we can work together to protect what we love -- our families, our homes and our town.
