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.
