In a statement posted on social media, New York City Emergency Management said tremors may have been felt in parts of New York City but that there were no reports of injuries or damage in the city. Xan Davidson, a USGS analyst, told ABC News that while earthquakes are relatively rare on the East Coast, a magnitude 3.0 is not considered a significant quake. "We would not expect there to be a lot of damage," Davidson said. "It would just be shaking." In April 2024, New York City and New Jersey were rocked by a rare 4.8 magnitude earthquake, which officials said was one of the largest earthquakes on the East Coast in the last century.

Earthquake Jolts New Jersey and New York City
A 3.0-magnitude earthquake struck late Saturday in northern New Jersey, jolting parts of the state and New York City, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The quake hit at 10:18 p.m. and its epicenter was at Hasbrouck Heights, N.J., near Teterboro Airport, according to the Geological Survey. Tremors were felt in parts of New York City, including Brooklyn, as well as Westchester County. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The New York City emergency management department said it was monitoring. People across northern New Jersey reported feeling a short, intense shake. Neighborhood chats and social media quickly lit up with people worried that a gas line had exploded or a large tree had fallen. On 129th Street in Harlem, Bradford Billingsley said he was watching television with friends when his coffee table rattled. 'We both felt a sudden jolt and looked at each other and said, 'was that an earthquake?'' he said. Scott Dodd and Robert Jimison contributed reporting.
