Earthquake rattles NYC! Magnitude 4.8 quake hits New Jersey with tremors and reports of ‘shaking buildings’
In midtown Manhattan, the usual cacophony of traffic grew louder as motorists blared their horns on momentarily shuddering streets.
Some Brooklyn residents heard a booming sound and their building shaking. In an apartment house in Manhattan’s East Village, a resident from more earthquake-prone California calmed nervous neighbors.
New York state governor Kathy Hochul said: ‘A 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit west of Manhattan and has been felt throughout New York.
‘My team is assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred, and we will update the public throughout the day.’
Gov Hochul gave an update shortly before noon saying her office is in contact with all the relevant agencies to oversee any damage and structural integrity concerns and that the White House has offered aid.
