Another small earthquake in New Jersey felt in parts of NYC

HILLSDALE, N.J. -- Another small earthquake in North Jersey Tuesday appears to have been felt by a large number of people in the New York City region, according to posts on social media.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported a magnitude 2.7 earthquake northwest of the city near Hillsdale, New Jersey.

At that size, officials say it is not likely there will be impacts.

The USGS does not consider earthquakes at 3.0 and below to be very dangerous or damaging.

It comes just days after a small earthquake could be felt across the region Saturday night.



That event had a magnitude of 3.0 and hit in the New Jersey suburb of Hasbrouck Heights.
