A 3.0 earthquake is typically not strong enough to cause any damage, but tremors that mild are somewhat rare in the Northeast.

HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J. — A small earthquake rattled the New York metropolitan area Saturday night.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the tremor had a magnitude of 3.0.

The event took place in Hasbrouck Heights, a suburb in New Jersey, located just under 8 miles (13 kilometers) west of Central Park. It occurred roughly 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) beneath the surface.

One resident of New York’s Brooklyn borough described it as a very brief tremor, just a slight swaying for a moment.

Despite its depth, numerous people took to social media to share their experiences of feeling it. The official Empire State Building account posted on the social platform X, reassuring followers with the message: “I AM FINE.”

The tremor was much milder than a 4.8-magnitude quake in 2024 that struck in Tewksbury, New Jersey, a little farther west of the city.

A 3.0 earthquake is typically not strong enough to cause any damage, but tremors that mild are somewhat rare in the Northeast.

New York City Emergency Management said there were no immediate reports of major impacts.
