< warm data-start="0" data-end="39">An seism with a prelim magnitude of 3.0 struck northern young Jersey late Saturday night, with tremors felt across parts of New York City, officials have confirmed.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the quake occurred at 10:18pm local time and was centered in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, roughly six miles beneath the surface. While considered minor, the seismic event was strong enough to cause noticeable shaking in several nearby areas, including parts of Manhattan and the Bronx.
New York City Emergency Management (NYCEM) issued a statement shortly after the incident, noting that it was “monitoring and investigating reports of an incident, possibly an earthquake of magnitude 3 in New Jersey.” The agency said no immediate protective action was necessary but advised residents to check for hazards.
“Tremors may have been felt in parts of New York City,” NYCEM said in an update on X (formerly Twitter). “Be prepared for possible aftershocks. These may follow minutes, hours, or even days after the initial quake.”
No injuries or major damage were reported as of early Sunday morning, and officials said they were continuing to assess the situation in coordination with emergency partners.
The USGS advises that earthquakes of this magnitude rarely cause significant structural damage but can be felt over a wide area, especially in regions with dense urban infrastructure like the New York metropolitan area.
Residents who felt shaking were encouraged to inspect their homes or workplaces for dislodged items, fallen debris, or cracks in walls and foundations. Emergency alerts will continue to be issued if conditions change.
