NEW JERSEY (PIX11) — An earthquake was reported in New Jersey on Saturday morning, officials said.
The 2.9-magnitude earthquake hit about eight miles northwest of Bridgewater at around 8:50 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The epicenter is about 45 miles west of New York City.
It was unclear if this was an aftershock from the 4.8-magnitude earthquake that shook the Garden State and New York City on April 5. Several aftershocks were reported after the initial earthquake in Califon, New Jersey.
Approximately 42 million people felt the earthquake, per the USGS. The shaking lasted several seconds.
A magnitude 1.7 earthquake struck Astoria, Queens, in January, according to the USGS. In 2019, a magnitude 0.9 earthquake hit Long Island City.
