The jolt rocked New Jersey, with tremors felt in parts of NYC
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.0 struck northern New 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.”

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.
Saturday’s jolt came just days after a powerful magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. That deep-sea quake, which occurred in the northwestern Pacific on July 30, triggered tsunami alerts and evacuation orders across several Pacific coastal regions, though no significant damage was reported.
