HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) \u2014 A small earthquake rattled the New York metropolitan area Saturday night.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Geological Survey said the tremor had a magnitude of 3.0.<\/p>\n
It hit in the New Jersey suburb of Hasbrouck Heights, less than 8 miles (13 kilometers) west of Central Park, at a depth of about 6.2 miles (10 kilometers).<\/p>\n
One resident of New York\u2019s Brooklyn borough described it as a very brief tremor, just a slight swaying for a moment.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, social media quickly lit up with people who felt it. The official account of the Empire State Building reported in on the social platform X to say: \u201cI AM FINE.\u201d<\/p>\n
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
A 3.0 earthquake is typically not strong enough to cause any damage, but tremors that mild are somewhat rare in the Northeast.<\/p>\n
New York City Emergency Management said there were no immediate reports of major impacts.<\/p>\n
