CBS News Live CBS News New York Live 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 …

After 12 millennia of relative inactivity, a geologic fault that stretches across the territory of Yukon, Canada, and Alaska now appears capable of producing a major earthquake, according to a new study. The findings point to an underrecognized source of seismic hazard in northwestern Canada. Scientists previously believed that the Tintina fault, which extends roughly 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) from …

The earthquake near the east coast of the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia on 30 July 2025 generated tsunami waves that have reached Hawaii and coastal areas of the US mainland. The earthquake’s magnitude of 8.8 is significant, potentially making it one of the largest quakes ever recorded. Countries around much of the Pacific, including in east Asia, North and South …

The Tintina fault stretches 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) across northern Canada, crossing the Yukon and ending in Alaska. The fault is thought to have been dormant for 40 million years, but that thinking is challenged by a new study that suggests a major earthquake may be imminent. Researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of Alberta in Canada …

A magnitude 4.3 earthquake rumbled through Muscoy in San Bernardino County on Thursday morning, triggering shaking across the Inland Empire, Los Angeles and Orange counties, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake occurred at 9:32 a.m. at a depth of about 3.3 miles and was followed by a magnitude 3.1 aftershock three minutes later in Rialto, according to USGS. …

On Wednesday, one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded hit a sparsely populated region in far-east Russia. It triggered a tsunami that started crossing the ocean at hundreds of miles an hour. What followed was a race against time: early-warning systems went into alert mode as waves fanned out towards the coastlines of Japan, Hawaii and the US west …

A major fault in the Yukon, Canada, that has been quiet for at least 12,000 years may be capable of giving off earthquakes of at least magnitude 7.5, new research suggests. Based on the amount of strain the Tintina fault has accumulated over the past 2.6 million years, it is now under an amount of stress that could lead to …

Today at about 11:30am local time, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula in the country’s far east. Originating at a depth of roughly 20 kilometres, today’s powerful earthquake – among the ten strongest in recorded history and the largest worldwide since 2011 – has caused building damage and injuries in the largest nearby city, …
