Overview

• The United States Geological Survey recorded the tremor at magnitude 3.0 with an epicenter in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, at a depth of about 10 kilometers.
• Some Brooklyn residents described a brief, mild rolling motion as the tremor passed.
• The Empire State Building’s official X account quipped “I’m fine” soon after the tremor.
• The New York City Office of Emergency Management confirmed there were no reports of damage or major impacts.
• Seismic experts note that quakes of this magnitude are uncommon in the Northeast and typically too weak to harm infrastructure, in contrast to the stronger magnitude 4.8 event near Tewksbury, New Jersey, last April.
