The quake was reportedly felt across seven other states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maine, Baltimore, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.
The epicenter was reported in Tewksbury, New Jersey, about 38 miles west of Newark, according to the United States Geological Survey.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul said her team is assessing any potential damages.
“A 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit west of Manhattan and has been felt throughout New York,” Hochul said.
A resident on Long Island took to X and shared her experience, saying, “Holy f**k. I just survived an earthquake.
“I was sleeping, my house started rocking & the bed, I jumped up saw the walls rocking heard the rumbling. I’ve never in my life experienced anything like it. Now Im concerned about this Eclipse. Holy s**t.”
Earthquakes on the East Coast are rare occurrences, but Friday’s earthquake was the second to strike the New York metro area this year.
