**Largest Earthquake to Hit New York City Area in 140 Years Recorded** **New York, April 5, 2024** - A magnitude 4.8 earthquake has shaken buildings across the New York City region shortly after 10:20 am Friday morning. According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake occurred about 5 miles east of Lebanon, New Jersey, and was classified as a "moderate" severity. Buildings in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and New Jersey were reportedly shaken, but no major damage or injuries have been reported as of yet. The earthquake comes as a surprise to many, as New York City has not experienced a major earthquake in over a century. The last significant quake in the area was a magnitude 5.2 event in 1884. Emergency services are advising residents to stay calm and follow any instructions from local authorities. The New York City Department of Buildings has inspected several buildings in the affected area and has not found any significant damage. The earthquake is a reminder that even areas that are not typically known for seismic activity can experience earthquakes. Residents and businesses in the New York City area should be prepared for future seismic events by having a plan and an emergency kit in place.
**Breaking News: Third Earthquake Shakes New York City in 2024** New Yorkers experienced their third earthquake of the year on Friday, January 2nd, with a 4.8 magnitude tremor. The event, which originated near Elbridge, New York, was felt as far away as Brooklyn and Queens. This earthquake was preceded by a smaller 1.7 magnitude quake in Astoria, Queens, in January. According to the New York Times, Friday's event was the third strongest earthquake within 250 miles of New York City since 1950. The most recent quake before Friday's was a 4.8 magnitude event in 2010. While earthquakes are rare in New York City, they are not unheard of. The city is located within the Ramapo Fault Zone, which has produced several earthquakes in the past, including a 5.1 magnitude event in 2006. Experts say that the recent earthquakes in New York City are a reminder that the city is not immune to seismic activity. They urge residents to be prepared for future earthquakes by having emergency supplies and plans in place. The New York City Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has issued the following guidelines for earthquake preparedness: * Keep a three-day supply of non-perishable food and water on hand. * Assemble a first-aid kit and other emergency supplies, such as a flashlight, batteries, and a whistle. * Make a plan with your family on what to do in case of an earthquake, including where to meet and how to contact each other. * Be aware of your surroundings and know the safest places to shelter in case of an earthquake.
