USGS’s report on where the earthquake has been reportedly felt on Aug. 2, 2025. <\/p>\n
The United States Geological Survey said an earthquake hit the New York metropolitan area Saturday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what we know:\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the numbers:<\/p>\n
The USGS said it was a 3.0 magnitude earthquake with a depth of about 6.2 miles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By location:<\/p>\n
The earthquake struck near Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, which is less than 8 miles west of Central Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n
FOX 5 NY has gotten reports of some feeling it as far as Long Island and Westchester County.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Witnesses on social media said they could feel the shake in metro New York City.<\/p>\n
No damage had been reported, and city officials say to call 311 if you have any damage or need help.<\/p>\n
For perspective:<\/p>\n
According to Michigan Tech\u2019s Engineering College<\/a>, a 3.0 magnitude is often felt close to the epicenter, but only causes minor damage, if any. About 500,000 earthquakes within the 2.5-5.4 magnitude are estimated each year.<\/p>\n And the tremor was much milder than a 4.8-magnitude quake in 2024 that struck in Tewksbury, New Jersey, a little farther west of the city.<\/p>\n What they’re saying:<\/p>\n NYC Emergency Management said no immediate protection is needed unless you experienced damage. And if you felt shaking, check for hazards such as shifted items, falling debris, or cracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n Adding a little levity to the situation, the Empire State Building posted on its X account: I AM FINE<\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> Information in this article was taken from the official government website of the United States Geological Survey and Michigan Tech.<\/p>\n New Jersey<\/a>New York City<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article USGS’s report on where the earthquake has been reportedly felt on Aug. 2, 2025.
