Friday's Earthquake in New Jersey

It is not certain as of yet if Friday morning's light tremor was related to last year's moderate earthquake that struck New Jersey. Last year's earthquake was followed by thousands of smaller aftershocks in the weeks and months after the event.

Hudson Valley Weather had reported that the 4.8 earthquake from April 2024 was the strongest earthquake in or directly around New Jersey since 1783, and the third most powerful on record. PIX11 reported that over 42 million people up and down the East Coast felt last year's shaking.
