"4.8 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes New York City and Tri-State Region"

A magnitude 4.8 earthquake struck near New York City, with its epicenter in central New Jersey, causing shaking along the East Coast. No major damage was reported, but New York Governor Kathy Hochul warned of possible aftershocks. New York City Mayor Eric Adams urged residents to take cover if they feel aftershocks. President Joe Biden offered assistance to New Jersey. The earthquake was the largest felt in the city since 2011 and was notable due to the region's older and harder bedrock, which transfers seismic energy more easily.
