New Jersey was rattled by its second earthquake in less than a week on Tuesday.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) recorded a magnitude 2.7 tremor near Hillsdale at around 12:12pm ET.
The seismic activity came just days after a stronger magnitude 3.0 quake struck in Hillsdale on Saturday evening, about 11 miles away.
Shaking from Tuesday’s quake was felt beyond New Jersey, with reports of movement coming from parts of New York City and Upstate New York, according to USGS data.
USGS received more than 400 reports of light to weak shaking in a matter of minutes.
Residents reported shaking throughout northern New Jersey, including Hudson Valley, Park Ridge and Ridgewood.
Officials said a quake of this magnitude is unlikely to cause any significant impact.
