Earthquake hits New York City and New Jersey late Saturday as residents report buildings shaking
Residents in New York and New Jersey were shaken late Saturday night by a minor earthquake. 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. The quake took place six miles below the ground, and around 13 miles from Midtown Manhattan. As well as New Jersey, tremors have been reported across all five boroughs of the city, according to a USGS map. New York City Emergency Management acknowledged the quake in a post on X. 'A magnitude 3.0 earthquake is reported to have occurred in or near New Jersey. Tremors may have been felt in parts of New York City. NYC Emergency Management is monitoring for impacts and coordinating with agency partners,' the agency wrote. The agency noted that no follow up was needed by residents unless they saw the quake cause damage. 'Be prepared for possible aftershocks. These may follow minutes, hours, or even days after the initial quake. No immediate protective action is needed unless you experienced damage,' the agency said. 'If you felt shaking, check for hazards such as shifted items, falling debris, or cracks.' No injuries or reports of serious damage have come out of either New York or New Jersey at the time of this report. Magnitude 3.0 earthquakes are fairly minor, but it's unusual for New Jersey or New York to have quakes strong for residents to notice. Last year, New Yorkers felt a 4.8 magnitude quake across the city which struck near Lebanon, New Jersey. Many took to social media to express confusion over the event. 'I thought my downstairs neighbor was banging something around lol, didn't even think earthquake,' one X user wrote. Another user wrote that they thought a truck was passing by their building. 'So can we agree that none of us felt an earthquake in nyc,' a third added. Harlem resident Bradford Billingsley wouldn't agree. He told the New York Times his coffee table rattled while he was spending time with a friend. 'We both felt a sudden jolt and looked at each other and said, 'was that an earthquake?'' he said. Mayor Eric Adams reposted the city's Emergency Management post, but didn't offer further comment on the quake. Earlier in the week an 8.8 magnitude quake hit off the eastern coast of Russia, triggering tsunami warnings in California, Alaska, Hawaii, Japan, Canada, and Russia.

A rare look inside the Edgar Thomson steel plant
U.S. Steel celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Edgar Thomson steel plant in Braddock with an event Saturday that brought steelworkers, their families, and community leaders together to celebrate the plant's history and share hope for its future. Rare access inside the plant was provided to KDKA-TV as part of tours that the families of steelworkers went on. Andrew Carnegie first opened the plant, his first steel mill, in 1875. It helped launch the steelmaking industry in the U.S. and has survived the decline of steelmaking in the Pittsburgh region. Working at the plant, part of the Mon Valley Works, brings a level of pride for steelworkers like Nate Schmidt, who led one of the tours. "[It's] nothing but pride," he said, calling leading the tour very special. "It was really cool. I got to take my wife and my oldest son on a tour." Inside the plant, KDKA-TV saw what looked to most like giant metal buckets, officially a ladle, filled with molten material. "This is just the beginning," Schmidt shared. The building is from the 1970s. It's not the oldest or the newest part of the plant, steelworkers shared. Some parts of the steelmaking process are in structures from the 1930s, and the newest is from the 1990s, they said. Nippon promises that the plant will be modernized. Steelworkers said they are constantly performing maintenance. There are also safety precautions everywhere. Just for our KDKA-TV reporter to go inside, a hard hat, long pants, safety glasses, and a heat-resistant jacket were required. The tour brought KDKA-TV to a steelworker whose job requires him to work in extreme heat, so much so that his shifts are only an hour long. The job is crucial; they identify issues and can immediately halt steel production at that location to prevent a major problem from occurring. The pride that Schmidt felt is shared by other steelworkers like William Moutz. "Not only is it pride for me, because I get to work in the same mill my dad worked in and provides for my family the way my dad did, but it's US Steel," Moutz said. "We make history every day. They're the last two blast furnaces in Pennsylvania, and at one time, there were 72 across the state." Local union leaders spoke ahead of the tours, like Rob Hutchinson, the president of USW Local 1219. "As we celebrate 150 years, let us not honor just what's been built, but what's been endured through industrial revolutions, world wars, global pandemics, the workers of this mill have never wavered," Hutchinson said, saying they won't waver in the future either. He also brought up the recent sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel. "Amid much controversy of what was best for our company, our workers showed up, and they did so without ever losing focus on their daily work," Hutchinson said. "I think if Andrew Carnegie walked into our mill today, I think he would be impressed," Moutz said. The same goes for the future after Nippon makes improvements. Schmidt said bringing his oldest son on the tour was special because he'd always wanted to see the plant. "Now, he finally got to see it, and at the end of the tour, he came up to me and told me that he'd love to one day work here with me," Schmidt said. "Makes me emotional, touches my heart. It's something special."

Trump's executive order seeks to remove homeless from streets. What is seen in Erie County
On July 24, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to 'end crime and disorder on America's streets, which was directed at the homelessness endemic taking place across the nation." The executive action makes it easier for cities and states to remove homeless people from the streets by ending consent decrees that limit local and state governments' ability to move homeless people into treatment centers and other facilities. The issues that pertain to homelessness that the executive order focuses on are seen in Erie County. The 2024 PA 605 In Time Census, as cited by the Erie County Home Team Homeless and Housing Coalition, provides the following statistics of note for the county: 454 residents in Erie County we're identified as homeless. 76 residents were unsheltered and living in a place that was considered inhumane. 378 were living in an emergency shelter or a transitional housing program. 37 families could be found in shelters consisting of 116 people and 37 children under the age of 18. 47% of adults dealing with homelessness battled mental illness while 36% battled substance abuse. An additional 577 people were in supportive housing or considered 'near homeless." "Talking to all of my colleagues across the country like in Philadelphia, their challenges are far different than ours in Erie County," Erie County Executive Brenton Davis said. "Honestly, I am thankful for the first world problems that we have. For all the different things that we have, we know what the finite number is and if you know what the number is then you can work towards solving it."
