A rare earthquake shook the East Coast on Friday. The quake was centered in Lebanon, New Jersey, a town 50 miles west of New York City.
The U.S. Geological Survey has gone back and forth about whether the earthquake measured 4.8 or 4.7, settling on 4.8 for now. Regardless of the size, it was felt in and around New York City and Philadelphia. There was no immediate word on whether the earthquake caused any damage. "A 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit west of Manhattan and has been felt throughout New York," said NYC Gov. Kathy Hochul."My team is assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred, and we will update the public throughout the day."
The Federal Aviation Administration said that travelers can expect delays of 30-45 minutes at New York City's major airports due to the earthquake. According to the USGS, Friday's earthquake was the strongest to be centered in New Jersey since 1780. The earthquake also was the strongest to strike an East Coast state since a Magnitude 5.1 earthquake rattled North Carolina in 2020.
The earthquake was a bit weaker than the Magnitude 5.8 quake centered in Virginia in 2011 that was widely felt across the East Coast and caused some damage in the Washington, D.C. area.
