A magnitude-3.0 earthquake rattled the New York metropolitan area late Saturday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake struck at about 10:18 p.m. local time with an epicenter in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, a suburb roughly 13 kilometres west of Midtown Manhattan and close to Teterboro Airport. Seismologists said the tremor originated about 6.2 miles (10 kilometres) beneath the surface and was classified as an intraplate event rather than one associated with major plate boundaries. Tremors were reported across all five New York City boroughs, northern New Jersey, Westchester County and parts of Connecticut. New York City Emergency Management and New Jersey officials said there were no immediate reports of injuries or significant damage, though residents were advised to inspect for hazards and be mindful of possible aftershocks. The agencies continue to monitor the situation in coordination with federal and state partners. While quakes of this size seldom cause structural harm, they are unusual enough in the region to prompt widespread concern. The USGS counts at least 43 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or greater within 250 kilometres of Saturday’s epicenter since 1950. The most recent strong jolt was a magnitude-4.8 event on 5 April 2024, which also emanated from northern New Jersey.
