**Northeast Jolted by 4.8 Magnitude Earthquake** **April 5, 2024** A significant earthquake with a magnitude of 4.8 struck the Northeast region on Friday morning, sending tremors across parts of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The earthquake, which occurred at 10:23 AM, was centered near Tewksbury, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). It is the third largest earthquake recorded in the area in recent history. The shaking was similar to a 3.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Buffalo, New York, in 2023. Both earthquakes were attributed to activity on the Ramapo Fault, a geological feature that runs through New York and New Jersey. Despite the intensity of the tremors, there have been no reports of serious injuries or major damage. However, some residents reported experiencing broken windows and fallen objects. Experts at the USGS state that there is no reason for alarm at this time. While there have been 12 small earthquakes detected in New Jersey so far this year, this is still within the expected range. A home security camera captured the moment the earthquake hit, showing furniture shaking and objects falling from shelves. The footage serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of earthquakes and the importance of being prepared. Residents of the affected areas are advised to check their homes for any damage and to follow any instructions from local authorities.
