A magnitude 2.7 earthquake struck near Hillside, New Jersey, on Tuesday at 12:11 p.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake was felt across northern New Jersey and the greater New York City area, causing minor shaking of walls and rattling of windows. This event marks the second earthquake of magnitude 2.5 or higher to hit the New York City and New Jersey region within the past three days, following a slightly larger quake in the same area on Saturday night. The recent seismic activity has raised questions about the movement of the New Jersey fault line and the potential for future earthquakes in the region.
