A significant earthquake struck the Northeastern United States on Friday morning, initially reported as a 4.8 magnitude quake by several sources including the USGS, centered near Lebanon, New Jersey. The tremors were felt widely across the region, affecting areas from New York City to Philadelphia, and as far as Connecticut and Boston. Some reports later adjusted the magnitude to 5.5, marking it as one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the New York area since a 5.2 magnitude earthquake in 1884. The quake occurred around 10:23 AM and was felt across the densely populated Northeast corridor. Despite the widespread tremors, there were no immediate reports of significant damage.
