**Major Earthquake Jolts New York City and Region** **April 5, 2024** A powerful earthquake measuring 4.8 magnitude struck near New York City on Friday morning, sending shockwaves across the Big Apple and surrounding areas. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake occurred at 12:15 PM EDT and was centered about 10 miles southeast of Weehawken, New Jersey. The epicenter was relatively shallow, at a depth of about 3 miles, making the quake felt widely. The earthquake triggered a flurry of phone calls and social media posts from residents who reported feeling the ground shake. Buildings in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, and New Jersey were reportedly rocked by the tremors. While no major injuries or damage have been reported at this time, the earthquake has raised concerns about the region's preparedness for larger seismic events. The New York City area is not typically prone to earthquakes, but it has experienced minor tremors in the past. In recent years, Pennsylvania has experienced earthquakes of similar magnitude, including a 4.6-magnitude quake in 1994 and a 4.5-magnitude quake in 1998. A 5.3-magnitude earthquake also shook Long Island in 2001. Seismologists are currently investigating the cause of the earthquake and its potential aftershocks. Residents are advised to remain alert and follow any safety instructions issued by local authorities.
