Possible earthquake being investigated in New Jersey, NYC officials say

Officials are investigating reports of a possible earthquake in New Jersey, the New York City Office of Emergency Management said Saturday night.

Preliminary data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) indicates there was a 3.0 earthquake centered near the town of Hasbrouck Heights in Bergen County around 10:18 p.m.

“Tremors may have been felt in parts of New York City,” OEM officials said in a post on X.

At this point, there are no reports of any damage or injuries.

Past earthquakes in the Tri-State Area

Back in July, a small 1.6 magnitude earthquake happened near Morris Plains in Morris County, the USGS reported, and in January, a 2.4 magnitude earthquake shook Bergen County.

Last year, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit Readington Township. It was one of the largest earthquakes to hit the East Coast in a century and was felt across the Tri-State area. There were multiple aftershocks in the following days.
