A 3.0 magnitude earthquake jolted the northern part of New Jersey late Saturday night on the 2nd of August, a few hours after an unusual and strong 4.8 magnitude earthquake was reported in part of New York City on the same day.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported to the public in a circular that the quake, which was experienced in the New Jersey part of the U.S., occurred late at night, around 10:18 p.m. local time, somewhere not too far from Hasbrouck Heights in New Jersey.
The tremor, which was mildly experienced across Upper Manhattan, the Bronx, and other nearby areas, sprang up at about 10 kilometers below the earth.
The aftershock, as witnessed, comes after the strongest earthquake reported to have hit the New York City area in over 100 years, which causes fear among those who live in the city, which had not had the experience of seismic activity in a very long time.
As of the time of filing this report, no damage, injuries, or casualties have been reported, while emergency services and local authorities have continued to watch as things unfold and are prepared to swing into action should it arise.
