Earthquake shakes New York City

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” the incident.

“Be prepared for possible aftershocks. These may follow minutes, hours, or even days after the initial quake,” NYCEM said in an update on X, adding that no immediate protective action was necessary but advising residents to check for hazards.

No injuries or damage were reported as of late Saturday, 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.

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.

That deep-sea quake, which occurred in the northwestern Pacific on July 30, triggered tsunami alerts and evacuation orders across the Pacific, and awakened multiple volcanoes across the region — including one that had been dormant for over 500 years.

  1. I’ll bet the cockroaches came out in force in the Bronx ghetto…!
    OR
    Maybe the PTB are blasting tunnels deep under NYC and New Jersey with the use of both explosives and TBM, in order to build last-minute fallout shelters for the nuclear war that Trump and his Zionist handlers are orchestrating under ‘The Samson Option’.
    It would be interesting to see IF a ‘P’-Wave occurred before the ‘S’-Wave’…if not, then it’s an explosion-based quake!
    Remember the quake that hit D.C. 5 or so years ago & they shut-down the Masonically-based phallic penis known as the ‘Washington Memorial
    Are Reptilian Lizardmen also under NYC as they are in L.A.? Is there a war going on deep underground?

    Are the 8′ tall grays having another Dulce War under NYC, pissed-off that their stock options on Wall Street have collapsed?
