Statue of Liberty visibly rocked by New York earthquake in dramatic footage
Watch as an EarthCam captures the moment that the Statue of Liberty appeared to shake during a 3.0 magnitude earthquake in New York City and New Jersey. A livestream of the earthquake taken on Saturday (2 August) shows the skyline of the Big Apple trembling as the camera rattles side to side. According to the United States Geological Survey, a magnitude 3.0 earthquake struck at 10:18 p.m, with its epicenter in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, just north of Newark. New York City Emergency Management acknowledged the quake but said residents did not need to be alarmed. No injuries or reports of serious damage have come out of either New York or New Jersey.

Small earthquake rattles New Jersey and New York City
A small earthquake rattled the New York metropolitan area on Saturday night. The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the tremor had a magnitude of 3.0. It hit in the New Jersey suburb of Hasbrouck Heights, less than 8 miles (13km) west of Central Park, at a depth of about 6.2 miles (10km). One resident of New York's Brooklyn borough described it as a very brief tremor, just a slight swaying for a moment. Nevertheless, social media quickly lit up with people who felt it. The official account of the Empire State building reported in on the social platform X to say: 'I AM FINE.' The tremor was much milder than a 4.8-magnitude quake in 2024 that struck in Tewksbury, New Jersey, a little farther west of the city. A 3.0 earthquake is typically not strong enough to cause any damage – but tremors that mild are somewhat rare in the north-eastern US. New York City emergency management said there were no immediate reports of major impacts.

Storm Floris to bring 'unseasonably strong winds and heavy rain', says Met Office
The Met Office says a storm is set to hit the UK next week - and has named it Storm Floris. According to forecasters, Floris is set to bring "unseasonably strong winds" to the UK on Monday, along with "heavy rain". Northern areas of England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are set to be the worst-hit areas, according to the Met Office, with a yellow warning in place. The warning is in effect from 6am on Monday to 6am on Tuesday. The areas under the yellow alert could see westerly wind gusts of 40-50mph inland and up to 60-70mph along exposed coasts and hills. Winds could reach 85mph in Scotland. The strongest winds will most likely affect Scotland on Monday afternoon and night, but "there remains some uncertainty in the depth and track of Floris", the Met Office said. It added: "Winds will first ease in the west during later Monday, but remaining very strong overnight until early Tuesday in the east. "Heavy rain may also contribute to the disruption in places." The Met Office said those in areas covered by the warning should be ready for potential damage to buildings, injuries and danger to life from flying debris and power cuts. Travel may also be disrupted on road, rail, air and ferry services, with longer journey times and cancellations possible. No warnings are in place for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The weekend will bring a mix of sunshine and showers, according to the forecaster. Storm Floris is the sixth named storm of the 2024/2025 storm naming season, which runs from September last year to 31 August this year. Storm Eowyn in late January was the last named storm to hit the UK. It comes after the fifth warmest July on record, which had a mean average temperature across the month of 16.8C, according to provisional figures from the Met Office. It was slightly below the warmest July on record in 2006, when the average reached 17.8C, and was also behind 2019 (17.2C), 1983 (17.1C) and 2013 (17C). July was also the sixth consecutive month of above-average mean temperatures for the UK. It followed the warmest June on record for England and the second warmest June for the country as a whole.
