A mild earthquake struck parts of New Jersey and New York on Saturday night, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).
The magnitude 3.0 quake hit at 10:18 pm and was centered about six miles underground in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, at a depth of about 6.2 miles (10 kilometers).
Tremors from the earthquake were felt across parts of New York City, including Brooklyn and Westchester County.
In northern New Jersey, many residents reported experiencing a brief but intense jolt. Social media quickly filled with speculation, with some mistaking the tremor for a gas explosion or a falling tree.
There have been no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
New York City’s emergency management department confirmed it was monitoring the situation closely.
The earthquake followed a powerful 8.8 magnitude quake that struck the Pacific Ocean on July 30.
Saturday night’s quake was significantly milder compared to the 4.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Tewksbury, New Jersey, in 2024, located slightly farther west of the city.
