Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that earthquakes of magnitude 5 or greater have occurred in New York State?

Yes. Two sources document magnitude 5 or greater earthquakes in New York State: a Wikipedia article on New York City-area seismicity reports the 1884 quake at approximately magnitude 5, and a 1983 Canadian earthquake catalogue lists a magnitude 5.1 event near Blue Mountain Lake, New York.
