Six earthquakes rattle same New Jersey county in one day: ‘It was a loud boom'
Six minor earthquakes shook one New Jersey county in a single day — rattling residents as the ground beneath them wouldn't stay still. Morris County became the epicenter of hysteria Monday as the series of quakes — ranging from a magnitude 0.7 to 2.0 — rocked the Randolph area five times and nearby Mendham once in the roughly 17-hour span, according to the US Geological Survey. 4 Map of Morris County, NJ showing six earthquake epicenters. U.S. Geological Survey 'There was just this loud boom,' one resident recalled to News 12 New Jersey. 'It wasn't a tree hit, it was a loud boom.' The seismic activity kicked off with a 1.6 magnitude quake at 5:40 a.m., followed hours later by a 1.3 magnitude tremor at 2:26 p.m., according to the USGS. 4 Seismograph needle tracing earthquake activity.

'When the dog reacts I always feel like there's something going on.' 4 Five quakes rocked the Randolph area and nearby Mendham once in the roughly 17-hour span.

Mendota Bridge's new railings getting a rethink after concerns from cyclists
After being closed for renovation most of last summer, the bike trail on the Mendota Bridge will close again in summer 2026 for a construction project to raise the bridge's guardrail height — back to where it was before. The Mendota Bridge is on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2024, its bike and pedestrian railing was replaced as part of a bridge rehabilitation project and the railing was lowered to its historical height, 42 inches. That's the minimum height standard for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Since then, however, Twin Cities bicyclists have raised concerns about the new railing. Many commented on a local biking Facebook page about the lower height, calling it 'frightening' and 'sketchy.' 'It's low enough that if a strong wind or encounter with a passing cyclist happened to knock you sideways, you could possibly go right over the top of the railing and off the bridge,' said Zack Mensinger, chair of the St. Paul Bicycle Coalition. After a review, MnDOT has decided to raise the railing to the department's standard height of 54 inches. It will add a structure on top of the existing railing to give it the extra height. The project will cost $2.5 million and is scheduled for summer into fall of 2026. Money from the project will come from state road construction funds for bridge projects, according to MnDOT. Jennie Hinz is a communications officer for MnDOT. 'So much goes into these projects, and we do care so much about safety and construction and historic preservation,' Hinz said. 'When we did hear concerns, we went back and reviewed it, and then had to work through all of those historic guidelines again. So it's not an easy fix.' Hinz said the 2024 railing renovation was partially funded by the Federal Highway Administration. Historic bridge work must comply with federal requirements called 'The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.' These standards include minimal changes to the historical characteristics of the structure. Hinz said the railing was lowered as part of efforts to preserve the historical characteristics of the bridge. CJ Lindor, education manager at Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota, said the alliance is part of the Minnesota Advisory Council on Traffic Safety and the Active Transportation Advisory Committee. Lindor said neither of these committees were consulted about the 2024 project ahead of time. 'The realization of how the project would look didn't land until it was basically completed already and reopened,' Lindor said. Hinz said MnDOT typically does not have public engagement on bridge preservation projects. The trail over the bridge will be closed next summer into fall 2026. Andy Singer, former co-chair of the St. Paul Bicycle Coalition, said the construction cuts off a major route for cyclists trying to travel to and from the west side of St. Paul. St. Paul resident Jeremy Norton biked across the renovated Mendota Bridge for the first time Wednesday. He said he didn't think the railing was too low, and that the concerns might be an issue of 'perception of safety versus actual safety.' Second teen dies after Eagan crash; State Patrol says vehicles were racing Apple Valley police ask for help in finding suspect in fatal stabbing Second defendant admits to role in fatal shooting of South St. Paul father during marijuana robbery Suburban restaurant group hires former Revival, Corner Table chef Thomas Boemer Minneapolis man charged with May shooting at Apple Valley park 'You'd have to be having a really bad day to get flung off the side,' he said. Jim Tucker of Minneapolis said he has been biking over the Mendota Bridge for about 50 years. He also said he wasn't concerned about the new guardrail height. 'It's OK. It's all brand-new,' Tucker said. 'I remember when it used to be all rusted.' Mensinger, of the St. Paul Bicycle Coalition, said he's glad the railings are being raised, even if it requires closing the bike lanes again. 'While I'm glad the issue is getting addressed, it's really disappointing that MnDOT staff didn't think things through better initially,' Mensinger said. For more information on the project, visit

Experts recommend the 'ifs and buts' rule to declutter your wardrobe this summer — here's how it works
Decluttering my wardrobe is one of those household chores I love to avoid. But, as summer hits, it becomes an inevitability that I'm going to have to face my clothes to find the ones I want to wear. It's really hard to ignore the clutter when I'm scooping clothes out of the way to try and find the pair of shorts that I hope still fit, or the sandals that have disappeared into the abyss of my very full wardrobe. And while I've tried a lot of decluttering methods over the years, most recently the 'poop rule' helped me sort out a lot of clutter throughout my home, it didn't quite work for my clothes. So, as I attempt to fold up and pack away winter clothing and unpack the summer clothes ready to see the light of day for another year, I've found an expert recommended rule that may save us all from clutter-filled woes. You may have heard of the classic idiom 'no ifs, no buts', which is a pretty common way of saying you don't want to hear any excuses to something you've said. And, when it comes to decluttering your clothes, Paul Gray, an expert at Chums, introduces the 'ifs and buts' rule, which means: "When you pick up an item, ask yourself why you don't want to keep it." If you find yourself making excuses for your clothing using either 'ifs and buts', then you shouldn't keep it. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "Get rid of any 'ifs and buts' items and replace them with items that properly serve the purpose you need them to". For example, you pull a pair of shorts out of your wardrobe ready for summer and you find yourself saying: "I really love the way these shorts look on me, but I don't like the color". Or maybe there's a pair of heels you always look at and say: "I'd love to wear these shoes, if they were a bit lower in the heel". And when you use this clever 'ifs and buts' rule, you'll end up figuring out what is surplus in your wardrobe and what you're realistically never going to wear because the same excuse continues to arise. Paul then advises: "Get rid of any 'ifs and buts' items and replace them with items that properly serve the purpose you need them to". It's not just about decluttering, but about doing it with purpose. Then, you can streamline your wardrobe and fill it with items you can't find any excuse not to wear. As I briefly mentioned, the 'poop rule' is one of my favorite methods for decluttering my home, but it doesn't translate into tidying out my wardrobe. And while there's been other decluttering methods that I'm a big fan of, like KonMari, Swedish death cleaning or '27 Fling Boogie', when it comes to finding ways to tidy up, I don't think you can ever have enough helpful tools. Luckily, Paul also has some other rules you can follow. Take the '20/20 rule', for example. For this, he says: "If the item can be replaced within 20 minutes for less than £20, get rid of it". This one's specifically for small, everyday items that you might keep around your home 'just in case'. The idea is that if it's easily replaceable and you're not using it, it's not worth the clutter it's creating in your home waiting for that 'what if' moment. Or, there's the 'six-month trial', which Paul explains: "Put items you're not sure into a box or bag and store them away somewhere. If you haven't missed them in six months' time, there's no need to keep them". I'm a huge fan of this one in particular because it prompts you to be more mindful of the items you keep around you, as well as reducing those regretful thoughts you can have once something has been discarded or donated. If you know for a fact it's not something you use or miss when you place it into the six-month trial, you know it's not serving a purpose in your home. And then, you can enjoy a tidy house and a tidy mind.
