The recent tremor is one of over 130 aftershocks following the April 5 earthquake, which was one of the strongest in New Jersey's history.

  • A 2.9 magnitude earthquake occurred near Gladstone, NJ, part of a series of aftershocks from a previous 4.8 magnitude quake.
  • No injuries or significant damage have been reported following the latest seismic event.
  • Experts indicate that aftershocks may continue for several months but are generally not a cause for alarm.
  • Seismologists are using advanced monitoring tools to study the aftershocks and better understand the seismic activity in the region.
  • The Ramapo Fault, near the epicenter of the original quake, is an old fault system that can still become active.
